La Cité De La Mer Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

La Cité De La Mer

the city of the sea
where is it, oh my love
far in the countryside or
very close to the sea?

wonderful to live there
and reside there
lots of free time and more play time
friendly people
kind-hearted residents
they give me so many compliments

I love the sea
I like the city
I like the people
and I like living among the residents

I saw the city near the sea
I fell in love with its surroundings
the lapping of the sea
and peer into the distance, oh dear, oh dear
the grassland with many colours
the many flowers and the sweet scents
our dear hearts and their laments

anyway, I love this city near the sea
our dear hearts and their laments
included the flora and the compliments
this city near the sea
gives me distances to see
