My Holiday Travels - Part 1

One of the loveliest islands I've been
Malta fits that bill without doubt
Valletta and Mellieha are real highlights
summer sunshine is an attraction to count

Venice is one beauty without doubt
surrounded fully by water all around
St Marks square takes one's breath away
an experience to make one astound

Being one who loves a good walk
the island of Menorca fits the bill
Mao being the capital on the bay
lovely forests bring nature so still

The island of Madeira has a nice climate
having such lovely fish, wine, and fruit
Funchal being its capital is majestic
such richness grows at its very root

A holiday that took us down the Med
to spend it in lovely Cyprus no less
there the sun did shine every day
shorts and t-shirts were regular dress

What a beautiful holiday - and ending it with Cyprus gladdens my heart as Elias is Cypriot. You did right to record your holiday in poetic form, as little things escape our memory, this way you will always remember. Great poem Gordon Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
