“Pool or open seas, it’s all good for swimming!” Gun Roswell



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

Day Nine: “Double” — Rotate Your Image
Your twin sisters. Your neighbor’s two poodles. Your vision during a dizzy spell. Your doppelgänger. Double can be interpreted in many ways.
Two for the Double (WP Developing Your Eye II)
“I think I am seeing… double!!!”
Swans by the Double
What do I spy
With my own little eye?
Gliding on the waters
No, not sea-otters
Oh, my ears are ringing
Because
Two swans a singing
And a fly
In an apple tree

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” Augustine of Hippo
Sunny side of Rhodes, Part One
Following the sun
Can be lots of fun
Blue skies, blue seas
As far as the eyes can see
Hike around the highlands
Spend your day shopping
On this little island
There simply is no stopping

Bye, bye beautiful island
It may not be my home land
But I promise once more to return
When the travel fever starts to burn
And I will start to yearn
Of the blue and turquoise sea
As far as the eye can see
Even though a Finn
Still loving the fun
And the warmth of the sun
On my skin
So maybe next year
You will see and hear
Me returning to this island

Today was the last day of the holiday and sadly tomorrow morning we will take off.
Relaxing in the warmth of the sun and snapping a few memories in the near surroundings was all on the agenda.
Basking in the sun
What could be more fun
I can think of none
Last day of holiday
Luckily on a sunny day
Tomorrow we’ll be on our way
On the plane back home we’ll fly
To our friends we’ll say goodbye
There will be no dry eye
The skies briefly turned gray
As if to sadly say
For a while more stay
But, in the end
The time spent
Was a holiday to recommend
