The old town

Author: Oceanzest

All quiet the light of the old town
earthern rusted verandahs
iron balustraded conversations
of men of youthful daring
long forgotten
sons lost to the sea

Of hooves and parades and produce filled wagons
of wild-eyed dogs in the doorways of an afternoon

All this held fast in the silence of old men
who hobble in the winding lanes of the cobbled night

Very short but very descriptive. You should find an artist to put your poem into a picture!
