Beach Life

Poetry and Photography

“The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul” Wyland

Beach Life

The sun in the sky
Mind almost as high
Finally relaxing
Feelings of taxing
Letting go
Taking things slow
Down on the beach
Life is simple
To say the least

of a camera is the twelve inches behind it.” Ansel Adams

Travelling around the island
In the colours of black and white
What could be more inspiring
Or feeling more right

Camera Lucida Photo Challenge: Journey

Photography and Poetry: Camera Lucida Photo Challenge 
Week Six: Journey

“Not all those who wander are lost” J.R.R. Tolkien

Camera Lucida Photo Challenge: Journey

Flying across the skies
Waiting for the price
At the end of the station
A promised vacation

The journey taken
Was not a long one
Each morning awoken
To the rays of the sun

Surrounded by history
Shrouded in mystery
Time spent on the beach
Bliss at hands’ reach

Enjoying each day
Life a large buffet
Until it was time
Back home to climb

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart” Confucius

Around the World in Black and White Presents: Third Edition: Rhodes Island, Part One

Rhodes Island, Greece
A small piece
Of our history
Beyond the centuries
The old town
Considered the crown
The beach
At your reach
Ixia, Kamiros or Lindos
A small drive with the bus
Everything you need
On the small island of Greece

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new” Jules Verne

Around the World in Black and White, Second Edition

In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
Catch a glimpse of the dolphins
Can rise the endorphins

Planning on staying a while
On the beautiful isle
That of Cyprus
Home to many a cypress
The surrounding seas of turquoise
Swimming around like the tortoise

Enjoying the island life
Dancing to a flute or a fife
Whether a history buff
Or a hang loose beach bum
Rhodes is the place enough
To make you wanna hum
