Enchanting Riverfront

This is based off of the Riverfront where I live

The moonlight’s luster reflects on the water

Ripples dancing in the evening air

As a delicate breeze drifts across the night

 

Soft melodic tones flutter with the stars

Reaching out to sensitive listening ears

Creating a tender romantic atmosphere

As couples chatter, holding each other’s hands

 

Sweet aromas of tasty treats spring to life

Pleasant smells circulate around the nose

Causing the mouth to salivate with delight

 

Boats skim upon the river with careless ease

Like silent vagrants on the crowded walkway

Gliding smoothly without a care in the world

Until they completely vanish from eye sight

 

The riverfront sings with jubilant night life

As people meander from one place to another

Some entering crowded appealing bars

While lovers sit in the enchanting dark

It's a river of mystery and a sweet romantic seductress to those you experience her.. It reminds me of my trips down South and then to New Orleans.. your imagery is perfect.. I felt like I was back and enjoying the peace found in the enchanting dark...x

You take us, the reader away, this poem is wisping like the breeze flowing off the ocean current under silver light, beautifully romantic and capturing, it's paints the portrait of the italian boardwalk. I admire your stylistic nature.

Excellent riverfront revery, really draws the reader into the smile-inducing tableau. The beautifully nuanced scene lingers long in the mind's eye, and your lines lyrically caress the soul.
