World Wide Wednesday in Kos Island

“Adventure is worthwhile.” – Aesop

Fun in the Sun

Afternoon,
Feeling lazy
Real life, all hazy
Turquoise waters
With no otters
Laying about
Poolside,
No doubt!
No hurries
No worries
Just living
For today
Wishing
I could stay
More
Than a week!

Left and Right for Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday #73
Photography /Poetry /Humour

“Life is mundane without the new and unexpected. I guess that has been and continues to be my downfall… I’m constantly searching…”
Adria J. Cimino

Left and Right for Mundane Monday

Passing,
The right side
Moving,
Towards the left side

Which side?
It’s really
A matter of perspective
The other right
Or the other left
The mind subjective

Do I have to choose
What if I loose
What is good for the gander
May not be good for the goose

Better then
To stay in the middle
Because
In the end
Life is a riddle

Seat Sunday in Kos Island (One)

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years.” Frank Lampard

Seat Sunday in Kos Island (One)

All in blue and white
As the principal
Traditional,
But of course
And definitely
Nothing by the Norse

A restaurant or bar
Always near
Never far
When in Greece
No need to sneeze
Because it’s always
Warm and bright
And you may sit
Almost, where ever
You like

Enjoy a meal
With something strong
Or even light
You’re on an island
Time for some smiling
After all
When in Greece!

“Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not.” Ursula K. Le Guin

Early Morning on a Saturday for the Daily Post

Too early
Airport calling
Surely
You wouldn’t want to
Miss the flight
It took so long
And one
Sleepless night
To get there
Where ever
You now wanted
To go

Breathe in
Breathe out
Let the morning air
Cool and thin
Hitting your skin
Clear all doubt
For soon
Sea and sun
Will replace
The mundane
And it’s not even
A Monday!
Get the pun?

Poetry, photography, tales and things that nature!

“A well-made salad must have a certain uniformity; it should make perfect sense for those ingredients to share a bowl” Yotam Ottolenghi

An Homage to Greek Salad

Gun’s travel log, stardate: August, Greece, Lunch Time (GMT +3)

An homage to Greek Salad

greek-salad-4

Tomatoes, onions and cheese
Who could ever survive without these
A feast good enough for peasants
Maybe even some pheasants
But especially for the tourists
From a far away land
Sufficiently and well nourished
Everything going as planned
Enjoying the feast worthy of Gods
Who could ever beat these odds

Swimming
All thoughts dimming
Relaxing
Nothing perplexing
Mind
Finally at rest
Unwind
Is the best
Turquoise
Filling the view
Disguise
All feelings of blue

Scenic

“Welcome to Suomenlinna!
No, this is not Vienna
Or even Sienna!
What you found,
While looking around
Is this little fortress
On this island gorgeous
Near the Helsinki city
So get busy
Enjoy our style
And stay a while!”
