Should there be More? “Cobblestone Streets”?
Cobblestone Streets
Bumpy yet smooth
little round squares
Quaint markets awnings
with strips and flair
Stores lined up
side by side
Coffee Cafe
Umbrellas
Tables with chairs
Mingling people
Walking around
his quaint little town
Yahoo ripped off my T
Last line should read This quaint little town!
Thanks ledkey!

The metaphor is the poem itself. Nostalgia for a simpler life. A nice read.

Yes, there should be more cobblestone streets, coffee shops, florists, farmers markets, where people make eye contact and aren’t afraid to shake hands in greeting, or to laugh out loud, or whistle while they work. Thanks for bringing back good days.

simple and complex memories of another era stirred by your verse
a fondly remembered picture is well painted within these lines of yours, though they have spilled over the lines within my brain

I absolutely love cobblestone streets.
They should all have quaint buildings lining them
I see them so rarely, thanks for the view.
Beautiful. Cobblestone streets, Market Square, Coffee Cafe, Umbrellas, Tables and chairs. You have described exactly a lovely place in a big city I often visit. You only forgot the candle shops. Bet we’ve sit across from the table sipping coffee and chatting about the beautiful scenery then wondered why we still left as strangers.
