OLD TOWN SONNET On either side the River rise high banks protecting valley and town Neath ever-changing tropic skies From brow of ridge where we gaze down The ancient village spreads below Just waking in the morning light That tints it with a warming glow Revealing coffee shops to sight Their magic liquid heals the Soul Gives hope to face the breaking day While body's braced from spicey bowl To bring us in our hearts to pray, That always you will erase our frown A blessing on you Ipoh Old Town The coffee shops of the Old Town in Ipoh, Malaysia are rightly famous for their food and particularly the wonderful coffee that they serve.

I like your imagery in this well written sonnet. You take me there and I can taste the reviving coffee. (My favorite drink) Janet
