Mothers Day in Bruges

A walk through Bruges with camera poised
Postcard pretty with no noise
Except small birds and regal swans
Making nests amid the fronds...

Medieval Bruges - a thriving place
Once bustling port: wine, fish and lace
Now lost in sunny dream pro tem.
Memories of way back when...

No overcrowded tourist barge
Quaint winding streets round beguinage
Where residents can take their ease
Delighting in such scenes as these.

With florists closed this Mothers Day*
Some clever families find a way
To celebrate with near and dear:
Admire the bloempot hanging here!
