Day 14 ~~ NaPoWriMo

]The neighborhood park just off Abbey Road]

Bumming around St. John's Wood;

a district in the City of Westminster, London (link) 

 

Walking down the streets of St. John's Wood

We'll take High Street first if we're hungry

Gelato shop is always welcome

A blackberry cone or use a spoon

 

Start or stop at the Library end

Drop off a book pick one up or read

Walk through city park and past the old church

We're bound for Regent's Park feed the ducks

 

Trapeze scholars may be out, practice

Take pictures of the bridges and folk 

Smell the flowers pick if we dare

Smile for mothers wave to the babies

 

Coming back we will exit the park**

and walk Kings Road to get back

Past the Cricket Field and then turn right

At Paul McCartney's house photo time

 

Left then right at the corner pass our flat

At the corner next Abbey Lane, wave

Wave to the camera***, to the home folk 

Cross with tourists, savor the aura  

 

**(or go right and visit Primrose Park

     View downtown London there from the hill)
