High rise

“Rise up, really high” Gun Roswell

High rise

A solemn building, slightly tilting
Floors stacked upwards reaching the tallest skies
Don’t jump from the top

Blindsided

“The strong sunlight blinded me” Gun Roswell

Blindsided

Reflections from the glassy surface
Made me cry my poor eyes out
Or was it something else?

Split View

“I am about to split” Gun Roswell

Split View 

View in all four corners
Blue my mind, like sky and ocean
Remaining inside, admiring it all

Iceberg

“It sunk at least the Titanic!” Gun Roswell

Iceberg 

I drove my boat fast
Colliding, hard, with a block of ice
Sinking, fast, that is that!

River runs

“In the depth of the river” Gun Roswell

River runs 

On the calm river glides
A boat, sailing home before the storm
Alas, no port to be found

Crete revisited – Water life – In the Sun a Bathing

“Travelling can be such fun, unless it’s not” Gun Roswell

In the Sun a Bathing

To the sunny beach it’s time to go
Because today we’ll take things slow
Laying down, reading and resting
Maybe later, the cool waves testing

Take a dip in the blue ocean
Or read a good book, in slow motion
Later when hungry, try a buffet
Eat some seafood, you can’t get enough of it

Remember to lotion, with SPF of high
Or in the late evening, you’ll be in denial
Red as a lobster may seem like fun
But soon your skin will come undone

“It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s Catman!” Gun Roswell

Caturday Haiku 

Sitting, waiting, angry, sad, feeling
Cat on the street, lonely, no feed
Please, take home, no-one alone

Crete revisited – Water life – Sights a Seeing

“Travelling can be such fun, unless it’s not” Gun Roswell

Sights a Seeing

Hiking up and down the hills
Always on the look out, for that special thrill
Sometimes, I find what I seek
But other times, it’s just a curious peek

Wonders of nature are the best
But do not the locals underestimate
Many a great details to be found
If you lift up your eyes from the ground

Architecture, tales and history,
May be the most interesting story
But also focus on the scenery
You may come across a mystery

Caturday Haiku

Cat with various stripes smiles
Patrolling its territory large, no one denies
Afterward, nap time awaits winner

Crete revisited – Water life – Gone a Fishing

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

Gone a Fishing

When the sign says, “Gone fishing”
That means all the bells and whistles that usually ring
Have completely silenced for the afternoon
And the boat is way, way out there in the lagoon

Don’t try to call me on my mobile phone
Do not tempt me with a sweet or a scone
I am completely out of it all for a while
And no matter who says what, I’m doing it in style

Fishing, fishing, ain’t catching a damn thing
But I am singing, grinning and clinging
Onto a hope, for catching a big fish to sell
Or at least, the tallest of tales to everyone to tell
