Near and Far
How Near to where i am would i want to go ?
The Local Park Perhaps ?
The Local Art Gallery ?
Off to the Lakes perhaps?
Or a remote sandy beach, someplace sunny and warm?

Travelling from quite a fair distance
Up on my bedside cupboard, lives a soap stone turtle
Regaled in fancy patterns, carved by the artisan
Turns heads with newcomers who haven’t seen him
Likes to hang about with others of his kind
Except – while he is Black and White – his pal is in colour

Out in the summer sun
Living it up on Grecian shores
It’s like you were made, for the mezze
Vine Leaves and Feta Cheese
Even the tomatoes seem juicier when you’re around
Gem of a fruit of the vine
Roasted lamb seems to like you
Even served as a stuffing
Enjoyed more now – in jars and in pastes but
Never forget – how tasty you are off the vine

Courage
Could you over come your fears ?
On the day I took this photo – on an island in Greece , i
Undertook a feat, i’d never accomplish
Rallying up a number of steep steps to
Achieve a goal – it made me feel
Great knowing i’d reached the summit and
Enjoyed a cool drink in a nearby Taverna
A Memory of a Greek Holiday to Rhodes
Enjoy the view – I went up quite a few steps to get this drawing
Manchester (Via Rhodes) , 5th November 2018
As the fire took hold of the wood
I watched magical trails rise high in the air
Releasing colourful patterns in the sky
Rhodes ancient buildings painted
Over by Beautiful light
Created by Ignition – rising over walls and
Keep of the old city , bringing smiles to
Excited children and adults alike
Taking vacations on the island

Memories of a glass bottomed boat
Rhodes, 18th October 2018
Watched with intent
As Mediterranean blue
Mixed with Aegean aqua
Travelling over waves
As crabs met tentacles
Admiring the land lubbers
Shellfish communicate with conch
The shows about to start
As hermit crabs scuttle towards the bigger fish
In an instant they appear
Waving a fin or a tentacle
In the greenest of blues
Catch of the day
Passes along the hull
To say hello and goodbye

Sunset over Alykanas
I watched
with my feet still sat in wet sand
as the evening skies faded
like a fire in outer space
day turned slowly into night
and silver fish still circled
as a central point of
fire and ice
waited for the many moons
in the grecian sky to settle in their spots
like diamonds in the sky
A reflection.
Sat a cafe bar on a greek island, enjoying fish and chips
taking in the breeze off the azure blue sea and
observing the comings and goings of the day – when
reactions are heightened by two feathered locals
kept company down the marble path by their owner
! i’d tell you what they were – but i reckon you would guess!
Out in the Grecian sun
whilst sausages are cooking in the chefs pan
turning brown from pink
the restaurants recipients
are lying on sun loungers
or sat on coral sand beach
worshipping Ra above
in a vain attempt
to mimic their luncheon.
