Reality’s paused or on hold
And waiting at home,

And the problems you need to unfold.
Some you might have let wait,
Others simply popped...

Swift DorcasCome with me to the
meadows and enjoy
the bucolic life
of the unruffled
landscapes, amidst the
low hills by the cosy pool,
where we will bask in
the summer sun.
We will have a summer
vacation date that will
leave indelible prints
in our transient...

Miss Sweden's SummerThe moderate warmth,
and its attendant
humid air,
rising mild temperatures
on smoothened sands.
Tilting towards the warm
showers of the tropical sun,
and basking on the tranquil
beach, I enjoy a sunbath.
With my sunscreen lotion,
applied gently on my soft
and beautifully tanned
Scandinavian skin,
I...

A retreat that was notFree for all were train reserved seats,
In hotel nor a well-served room,
Elsewhere a crowd that always greets
Us, and we returned to resume
Our fate from the date left in wait,
But of course, the retreat was...

Holidays come with vacation-glee
As students from assignments can flee
Toward freedom flight
Outside classroom blight
Optimizing adventurous spree.
Oh, welcoming holidays with zest
Our pupils feel they are very blest
Praying* for grand days
To enjoy great ways
Not pressured by pen and...

Our Beach VacationWait
This can't be a mistake
The morning light
Is just too bright
We've overslept
Curled up in bed
Now we must rush
Gone that soothing hush
Toilet flushing
Teeth fast brushing
Coffee churning
Toast now burning
Swallow fast
Needs to last
Stuff all over
Where's the roller
Switch off lights
Well...

Dream Holiday LimericksI check to see all that I need--
Some books and my favorite tweed--
Are all in their place,
My snacks in their case,
Now all I got to do is read.
I was on a holiday with Fred

VacationSuperficial impressions, like the sunset ripple
Museums, beaches, cafes by the score
The phrasebook conversations with the service people
Cliches in their predictable galore
You’re saved from depth and filled with little pleasures
The charms of tourism,...

A Map to NowhereA Map To Nowhere
Just a drive.
To get away.
Here to there.
Someplace new.
Not at home.
A journey before breakfast.
Early with the sun.
A map to nowhere.
A drive on the open road.
A journey long overdue.
A road trip.
New memories between two...

They came to see conquered
plundered other nations' heritage
voices of dissent hung in the breeze
The elite thought of themselves
as educated
Wrote learned books about stolen
statues, marble, and so on
the significance of great art
The pilferers became ennobled
sometimes, for...

Ode to the Largest Lakes of MaineMoosehead, mother of Maine’s many lakes
fed by Moose River’s flowing tears.
Overlooked by Kineo’s cliffs,
with Kennebec you share your gifts.
Sebago Lake, your bowels deep
with waters fresh, quench Portland’s thirst.
Headwater for Presumpscot’s course
which for many towns was...

VACATIONA vacation is personal time off
So that I can get away from
And enjoy me, leaving the stress
And the headaches behind
Also, not being bothered with
An over aggressive boss or
An entitled one who things that
Slavery still exists...
