College Fun Trip

When I was in college, we went on a fun trip to the state of old churches and beaches, Most buildings had their paints peeling, so dilapidated, The churches were huge, grand old and awe-inspiring, built to celebrate the relics of saints; Decaying houses with growing creepers that taints, I was their long lost beauty admiring, wondering why they were fated, though they seemed appealing, Melancholic state of those houses sure teaches we must have on possessions a loose grip; We visited lots of beaches, wet feet drip~drip, watching sunset on horizon reaches, listening to sea, calm feeling left us all elated, Though walking and playing on beaches felt tiring, we enjoyed so much we had no complaints. 01.08.21

Enjoyed reading this one. I have seen some of those old churches. They go down because the members have either died or moved away and they communities no longer are large enough to support a church which is so sad. A way of life no longer in existence. Congrats on your winner. Sara

Loved your poem. Even in Malta we have abandoned small chapels that have a history to tell. ~~
