“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia”
Ellen Hopkins
Sepia
The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last
Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart

“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
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

“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
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

“After a storm comes a calm”
Matthew Henry
After the Storm
After the storm
Everything is calm
Surrounded by silence
When roaming the island
Not a soul in sight
A sole bird in flight
The scent of nature
The intoxicating mixture
Enhanced by rain
Hard to restrain
My rejoicement

“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
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

“Cats are like music:
It is foolish to try to explain their worth
to those who do not appreciate them”
The Girl and The Cat
If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”

“Cats are like music:
It is foolish to try to explain their worth
to those who do not appreciate them”
The Girl and The Cat
No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat
No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set
Continued in part three

“Cats are like music:
It is foolish to try to explain their worth
to those who do not appreciate them”

Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
On the sofa, laying flat

“The sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever”
Jacques Yves Cousteau
By the Seashore
I still remember
That one September
The bluest of skies
And it was warmer than July
The water clear and inviting
The air soft and delighting
Not a worry in sight
Everything quite right
In the distance
For an instance
A boat or two
Disappearing from the view
Most tourists already gone
Leaving us alone
Enjoying in peace
With a short lease
The last rays of summer
