Portland II

I am struck
By the natural
Beauty of the tree
Lined ridges and rivers
Ducks in formation herons
Observing the couples walking
Some with children all peaceful
At sundown and I wonder how
Many cafes dot the city like
Ducks on the Willamette
Each unique welcoming
A niche clientele only
Happy in likewise
Company but all
Happy together
In this other
Austin far
Away in
Texas.
