I spy, a fortress

“History, in motion on full display” Gun Roswell

Tall, big and dandy 

Like a castle, made of sand

Home of many a kings and queens 

While visiting, maybe some of them to be seen?

I spy, with my eye, a fortress

Defying history, by being ageless

Statuesque, with stony walls

Standing in place, never to fall

Plenty of people will stand there and ogle

Some of them looking through their goggles

A sight for the tourists and centuries

But maybe not there, for all to please

The evening filled
With colourful lights
Cool wind chilled
Time to head inside
The Aquarium a choice
Listening to sealife’s voice

Feeling very entertained
Passing the mountain chain
And the flattest of plains
There is nothing mundane
About this trip across the domain

Sharks swimming in tanks
Where a ship had sank
Luminescent jellyfish
But not served as a dish
Enjoying the night life
Of this little town in south
