“Fall colours in black and white! How odd!” Gun Roswell

Monochrome Magic (1)

A frozen rose

Even the strongest and prettiest rose
Did in the cold temperatures freeze into an eternal pose
Preserved, for a longest of time
In the most natural cryogenic slime
With a mixture of pure clean water and the weather
The gorgeous flower has now finally been tethered
To the very ground, it once proudly sprout from
A preserved three dee image, now never gone

The seat on the sunny side of the yard

“The sunshine too special to miss, sitting on the side of it, what a bliss” Gun Roswell

The seat on the sunny side of the yard

After a long period, of just sitting, inside

The walls surrounding only, a place none too wide

Phobias, ever growing, of all shapes and sizes

The constant companion in this great, divide

But, a hope, every now and then

The opportunity some time to spend

In the soothing and gorgeous nature exploring

Appears, without so much as a second warning

Packing up a small bag of all the necessities

Because I am planning on a long day, stress free

As this day, will be one in a long while, as one of the rarities

Due to what eve is now going around the world you see

As I finally, take my first step, outside

To be able to venture into the somewhat open wide

I feel some stain on my very own face start

But, ignoring it for a moment to settle the light

And as I look beyond the front porch of my house to part

I know now, what the strange feeling was

Feeling the sides of my face and suddenly find

That totally unexpected, great big smile

12 Reminders for Writers Who Feel Like They Have Nothing Valuable to Say

Lanzarote island revisted, 3

“You certainly will become a far better writer by writing and doing so, quite often, but you will also become a better travel writer, and can only happen, by writing lots about travel” Gun Roswell

Lanzarote island revisted, 3

Scenic, are the barren, and now frozen volcanic views
Just outside, and beside, the large ocean, so very blue

Here, only softest of soft and utterly fluffy white clouds
Has up there high in the skies, their dancing allowed

With so many palm trees everywhere, you think is all you can see
But look around, also other things of nature, in abundance, will appear for totally free

And don’t forget the most important aspect, of this impromptu travel arrangement, the sun’s shine, making you want to dance
The only and needed, warming, filling, even grilling, but mostly calming, sustenance

Lanzarote island revisited 2

“I tend to write every single day, even more so, when I am on the road, travelling” Gun Roswell

Lanzarote island revisited 2

Lunch time, feeling hungry, as travelled all day long
And for this experience, the need is, to absolutely stay strong

A local salad, on the rocks, and of course, of hot molten lava
Maybe, try to add, into the odd mix, some delicious guava

www-5

Then for much, much later, a dessert
And you better make it, a cup of Java

For this here place, is now, our final destination
The goal, for the mind and body, an utter and total elation

Because, on this, fine, fine day, we will have lots of fun
On this, oh so remote island, born ages ago, of the sun

Lanzarote Island revisited

“Travel back in time, to the wonderful island, of Lanzarote, but only in my memories and photographs” Gun Roswell

Lanzarote Island revisited

The skies, painted in the most gorgeous colour of blue
Clouds, so totally white and fluffy, but luckily, far and few
Sun, which seems to be always shining, ever so brightly
The pool just outside, now beckoning and oh so inviting

The local, and the original dwellings painted all in white
This, magnificent place, oh, definitely is our “campsite”
Our home away from home, well, at least, for a week
What else could one want, or to be, or even, to see?

But to this gorgeous village in the middle of nowhere to flee
On an island no less, in the middle, of the very, very large sea!
