Travelling can be such fun, unless it’s not” Gun Roswell
In the Sun a Bathing
To the sunny beach it’s time to go Because today we’ll take things slow Laying down, reading and resting Maybe later, the cool waves testing
Take a dip in the blue ocean Or read a good book, in slow motion Later when hungry, try a buffet Eat some seafood, you can’t get enough of it
Remember to lotion, with SPF of high Or in the late evening, you’ll be in denial Red as a lobster may seem like fun But soon your skin will come undone

Crete, revisited twenty years later
Taking a nostalgic trip, to re-visit forgotten places Which mind and memory, long since have replaced With images stored, in an album, never browsed Despite all the effort, made promises and vows
So now, here I am, sailing across the seven seas Letting my mind at ease, for carrying all the keys Unlocking, and bringing forth, all those memories Names, places, even faces, coming out of stasis
As the ship the designated harbour reaches Looking forward to those sandy beaches Clear waters, sea otters, dolphins and other creatures As they all on the postcards were featured
When the captain let out a shout: “Land ahoy!” I knew, this was not a dream nor a decoy I had finally landed, as per trip advisory had planned it Starting my trip, quite nostalgic
“To lie under the blue sky on the coolest of sands” Gun Roswell
Blue is the Beach
Why don’t you, come on over, To this place quite special, where The Heavens, meet the Earth This really is, the end, of your search
A place where, all that is sometimes lost, is now found A place where, the skies, are the same, as the grounds A place where, time itself, stands completely still A place where, there is only need, for one, special skill
Enjoy this life, that now exists, in the here, and now Of the time for freedom and also, being proud Of the time for total celebration and, yes, even singing Of being what you are, as you come so far Simply enjoy yourself, in the here, and now
The lookout cat, at her very post Neatly and frozen, staying, in the exact same pose In her current pray, she seems, totally engrossed Or just maybe, she already had a feast and ate a roast And now only digesting, is the utter and most Task she is able, for the least this moment, to coast
“If you’re not bringing anything to the table, give up your seat, please!”
A Bench at the Beach?
Looking, for my very favourite spot The one, I prefer for my rare and deserved break times Yet, buried, under so much snow it seems The workings, of some wintry plot!
But, the snow aside, Since, I really don’t mind And, now, sitting down for a few Totally, enjoying the silent view Before once again, the evening‘s Most glorious sun, sets
“A calm, cloudy, and sunny Sunday, what a contradiction indeed!” Gun Roswell
A Summer’s Sunday at the Beach
When the Sunday time, loudly, its present chimed We ran, like we were on fire, out there, from the dire Into the open wild nature, with colours so lush There really was no need for any kind of rush To enjoy the art work devised by our beloved Mother Nature Was there for everyone to see, without any kind of fee
But we ran, as fast as any one can, really For you see, there was somewhere else we wanted to be, really Beside the calm and cooling waters, fooling around like a bunch of sea otters We made our way, discarding all clothing, falling where ever they may Splashing into the soft waves, letting the healing waters save Ourselves in the process, as this was the place for us, the total bliss
We played and frolicked, until the darkness descended we stayed Then only, reaching for the softest of sands, lending each other a hand To find the discarded garments, a little dirty, maybe even sandy, was a mild statement But nobody cared, as it had all been time so well spent Out here, on the beach, on this summer’s Sunday we had reached And if we were to be lucky, maybe next weekend, we could come back again
Swimming All thoughts slowly dimming Relaxing Nothing is quite so perplexing Mind Finally in total rest Unwind Is certainly the best Turquoise Filling all of the view Disguise All feelings this, gorgeous blue
“My little pretty red gloves bring me joy and warmth; after all it is winter or at least, it started once again, surprise!” Gun Roswell
Red Leather Gloves
“This is when the gloves come off!” She stated with a huff and added a puff.
Throwing down the protective shielding onto the ground, she was about to defy all beliefs of what would happen when exposing yourself to the elements.
It was that time of the year, when the cold season had taken over. There was no hiding from the white powdery substance covering most of the northern world. The only thing to do to survive was to put as much woven garments on top of the skin as possible. The degrees sinking down below zero in the tens, sometimes even hundreds, this season lasted for a length of six moons.
But those damn gloves! How they irritated her, especially today. They were always in the way. Grabbing things was not easy, not to mention holding a big rugged shovel.
She looked at the discarded gloves laying on the ground. Red against the whitest of snow. Pretty were they, she thought and kept staring at them, while her fingers were getting numb. Finally, as beckoning her, she scooped the offending hand garments from the pile of snow, pulled them on and admired the colour and the feel of them.
Once again, she was very, very happy in her gorgeous red leather gloves.

The Three Witches of Easter
The three witches from some-wick Never mind with They ain’t winning no beauty contests To that many can attest
But ugly can be an asset Especially for the wickedness Scaring folks and cattle Just by showing up tattle
After all, this is a holy ball For all the witch kind And if you any of them find Then try to stir to the right As the witches always drive On the left hand side
