From dreariness of daily grind
leaving cares and woes behind
soaring like birds on magic wings
flying to new and wond'rous things
Round Gulf St.Vincent in chariot fair
300 miles swept away without care
on reaching the tip of Peninsular foot
the sea was lapping right up to our boot
Breathing delighted the humid air
forgetting the drought that led to despair
dear friends, great food and a glass or two
bring forgetful sleep to a dawn brand new.
Dear bloggy friends, forgive my shunning of your
cups of tea, 'twas not mere caprice that led me astray,
holiday settlements in the more remote regions do not
cater for guest internet.
I will do my best to catch up on all your doings ASAP!
Lovely photographs both the seagull and the moon (or sun)?
ReplyDeleteHad a nice wander in your woods too. Hope you had a good break and are now ready to pick up the reins again.
Don't worry about us...glad you had a holiday:) Thanks for the beautiful photos & words!
ReplyDeleteArija dear,.. do not worry about not having internet,.. your description of your lovely vacation is wonderful. Focus on relaxing and enjoying,... anything else can wait! I really enjoyed your verse.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you express yourself. If it were me I would have just said, I was very busy. The way you say it sounds so much more beautiful but then again eveything you do is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs and the poem is wonderful, no need for apologies! It's nice to get "unplugged" sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
