I love the Netherlands. In my opinion, it’s one of the best countries in the world. And there are so many cities and towns that I adore in the Netherlands.

Delft is one of those places that I have fallen in love with. And with that said, below is a short poem I have dedicated to Delft.

Note: If you ever get the chance to travel to Delft, or the Netherlands in general, then do it! I am confident you will not regret it.

In Delft: A Poem About Delft

In Delft, the streets are narrow ribbons of stone,
lined with houses leaning as if whispering secrets

Morning light drapes itself over blue-tiled walls,
each fragment a memory, each glaze a reflection
of centuries kept intact, waiting for new stories.

You stepped into that mosaic of a city
as if you belonged to its centuries already,
a figure walking across bridges arched like questions

that begged for answers only our eyes could provide.
Cyclists passed in a blur of bells and laughter,
yet in that rush, time slowed…
