Germany.

Remember what it was like to write poetry,

You, my muse, over that city gloom.

All I dream about now is Germany’s redemption;

and how I’m thinking I’ll take you there some day.

When I’m an officer in the US Navy, I’ll be stationed just outside of Munich,

sending postcards at first, and telling my tales of obscure barrooms, filled

to the brim with magical beings and flailing lips screaming, “Gerade ein mehr getränk!”

This is how I want to remember you, 

my living, breathing piece of Germany.

To hold forever, 

in my arms.

I have never been to Germany, but I've written a few poems OF Germany. lol The second half of the poem was uplifting and ends with good emotion, but the first part threw me off with the "gloom" word used. I thought you were feeling sad, but THAT is what brought on the "longing" you were feeling. Beautiful country!! xoxo -Mark

Places can become special. Best day of my life was in Germany. I like the good thoughts and memories in the poem. The strong ending made the poem complete. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
