Travel Haiku - Istanbul Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Travel Haiku - Istanbul



Istanbul
cross cultural romances
dance in the people's eyes

Istanbul
fruits of cross culture romances
sparkle in their eyes

Istanbul
in their eyes too
a romance fusion of Asia, Europe

Istanbul
our eyes lost in the windows
of the Blue Mosque

Divided by the Bosphorus Strait, Istanbul is the only city in the world that spans two continents—Europe and Asia. Visit the Old City, or Sultanahmet, alive with reminders of the area's Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman past. View ancient Roman aqueducts; haggle for bracelets, rugs, and pottery at the Grand Bazaar; and admire the 140-foot-high dome of the Blue Mosque, with thousands of blue Iznik tiles sparkling in the light of 260 windows.
