Pearl Of The Adriatic Poem by Tirupathi Chandrupatla

Dubrovnik, pearl of the Adriatic
In the country of Croatia
Busy it is with a thriving port
Serving commerce and transport.

Waters are calm and quiet
Surrounded by mountains
Travel by sea's safe and sound
Cruise ships visit often there.

Rich heritage's well preserved
In the architecture of buildings
History of Ragusa provides
An interesting study for all.

Franciscan monastery exhibits
Its old pharmacy of distinction
Tools of weight, measure and mixing
For an observer very interesting.

Renaissance buildings survived
The earthquake of 1667
Palaces Sponza and Rector's
House the National Archives.

Panoramic view from sea coast
The tranquil island we see
Are scenes of great beauty
To keenly observe and admire.

Croatia on the bank of Adriatic Sea
Connecting Mediterranean Sea
Neighboring Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia
Strategically located across italy.

Visiting a new place's always
A stellar experience for a visitor
Hope one can find resources and time
To see all one can see in life sometime.
