Coffee Break

There is always time for coffee
Black, au lait, or laced with toffee
Good for the soul, good for the body

Champagne and Strawberries

Sparkly wine and berries of red
A celebration for the traveller
But also for the people of homestead

“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige

A Bench to Sit on

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

“Clouds suit my mood just fine” Marie Lu, Champion

Three

Dark clouds low in the sky
Painted with the greyest of die
It is calm in the storm’s eye

Birds into their nests quickly fly
Nothing moves, not even a butterfly
Before the rain pours down from the sky

Scenic view included
The brochure exuded
In an area quite secluded

Selection undisputed
Coordinates in computed
Soon, nothing but solitude

One

On the way to Peru
Or possibly Katmandu
Onto a side track we flew

Soon enough, in a locale new
With a cloudy blue hue
And a gorgeous mountain view

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination with reality, and instead of thinking of how things may be, see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson
