“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

“Labels are for cans, not people”
Anthony Rap
The Label Maker
Hey you with your label maker!
You like tagging people don’t ya, you faker!
You went right by me and took one look
Stuck this sticker on my forehead without a single hook
I am having a hard time getting it off
Did you think it would make a great perma-label on this spot?
But guess what, you nut
I washed my face with potent soap in a rut
With a huff and a puff
My forehead finally crystal clear and clean again
Luckily without the use of acid rain
And nothing of it sticking to my brain
No amount of glue
Will keep the sticker on my face
Your plan went sadly askew
Or were you just in the wrong place
Memorize this lesson
Into your big fat head
Go find some cans for making the impression
And label some of them instead

“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.”
– Susan Sontag
Around the World in Black and White
Sailing the gorgeous lakes in Italy
Watching the clouds filling the sky to affinity…
…Sightseeing, travelling or shopping
There is no time for stopping
Around the wide wide world
Me and my camera are hurled

Around the World in Black and White
While roaming the ancient ruins for Greece
Breathe and let the moment freeze…

There is no time for stopping
Around the wide wide world

“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

“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
