Short Tourism Poems

A paradise
You enter the country
Someone will follow you
And kill you gently
In a dark alley
Paradise never was so relaxed...

Country to country traveling 
Tourism and terrorism 
Visiting nature and flowers 
Look at and go tourists
Pluck that and go terrorists!...

People today are fat, not swift,
So The Western Wall needs a lift*
But here's the rub 
An ancient tub
Saves each tear as temple gift 

*(lift="elevator")...

For koalas and wallabies yearning,
piles of money for tourism earning,
to Australia flying
and on jet fuel relying,
we now lose it and yell: "Oz is burning!"...

REFUSAL TO DUCK

Tucker sits on lawn chair sipping his pop.
Two bullet holes like flies land on backdrop.
A retired mechanism.
He’s done with tourism.
He’s a sitting duck in front of a shop.

Tourism, citizens, tourists
citizens, tourists, tandem
tourists, tandem, bandwagon
Tandem, bandwagon, sweat
Bandwagon, sweat, tears
sweat, tears, nosedive
tears, nosedive, health
nosedive, health, culture...

Even in an heavy destruction of air
capitalism shout with joy
but not the climate
when everything goes wrong
you should take a fling at the barn
look up into the sky with a smile
take a sandwich or three
while the environment goes to hell...

Tourists traipse over sites.
The necropolises
Team with the secular;
Teasing mortality.
Trauma and terror marked,
Tasked with introspection: 
To learn ‘Never Forget’.

Sea tides undulate

Salt saturates wide valleys

Fish leap helplessly

Seagulls laugh at moment’s spare

Desert sand surrounds

Lonely land mass residing

Brim with tourism

Festivals ignite the flame

Native culture dance

Parties prosper all around

Sun enlightens all

Skin tans from ash to brown dust

Reggae music blasts

Life turns to relaxation

This is paradise...

The Leprechaun's about the luck
that he can carry with him
When you would only want the luck
to keep him from tourism

And he could only stop for you
to tease you for derision
When  you would only be too slow
for making poor decision

And he could only say to you
your luck will change for vision
When spirits rise to working hard
for luck come from provision...

amish capital of holmes county
feed mills, flour mills,
amish canned goods
bringing in tourism
broasted chicken
horses chopping up state route 93
leavign souveniers on road way
'family park along creek
as train goes through town
children retreiving coins on tracks
as they are worn thin
BALTIC
home at one time
now somewhere to go for vacation
while visiting family and friends...

Human spaceflight is an epoch making thing
And space tourism – a new normal amazing
Effect of spaceflight on the human body
Has been a supreme subject for everybody
Space habitat is my curiosity extreme
As my cosmonauts study umpteen
Bioastronautics and space pharmacy
Will soon be a regular supremacy
Space architecture being latest command
Let’s fulfil the universal demand..!...

People who claim to have encountered vampires:

a are crazy
b are liars
c 'necks' question please

People who claim to have seen ghosts:

a are confused
b need glasses
c are mediums (or maybe even larges)

People who claim to have seen the Loch Ness monster:

a are dreamers
b work for the Scottish Tourism Board
c need to be 'loched' away

We love football meat pies kangaroos and Holden cars
We’d sing it at home in the playground and in bars
The good old days when everything was Australian made 
But that ended then and now the song did fade

So here we are a place whose population 
Is looking for work in mining tourism and submarine production
We look like we did in 1941
No industry no future and looking around for one.

Poachers shrug off
their critics,
who say that they are aiding
elephants' extinction - the
people who are thirsty
for money from tusks claim
that poaching
doesn't destroy the world,
it only destroys poverty
and feeds their hungry families.
They press the triggers,
without foreseeing a wild with no elephants;
a nation with no tourism;
an orphaned elephant calf;
a beauty scrapped off from Mother Nature's creation....

Given in appreciation
but taken away on request
translated to foreign land
but asked to surrender everything
employed to serve unknown guests
but asked to behave brainlessly
taken for a tour as personal effect
but chained for whims of tourism

Today young girls of the world
are chattels of people’s wishes

They are dustbin of weird whims
hijacked, negotiated, looted, lied to
are groundnut paste of pleasure
nothing in this world they are 
but chattels, empty scraps!...

I am 
a believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ
a redeemed child of The King
an enthusiast of end time prophecies
a patriotic Bahamian
a lover of Rake and Scrape, Junkanoo, Goombay and Calypso
a September baby
a beach lover
an ocean lover
a nature addict
an environmentalist
a lover of coconuts
a tour guide
a time traveler
a sports fan
a poetess
a storyteller
a nature photographer
a comedian
an innovator
a philosopher
an artistic genius
and a tourism enthusiast...

Break apart all those facile screens
Organized overdrawing of institutional bleeding
Walks through maps and tourism
Pushing hour glasses beyond comprehension

At the ground level, animals are recurring
Human bounty participates at the nexus
As species consolidate their voices
Power and choice conglomerate each family network

Brother in arms bent apart
Relegates to the past where futures amass
The tiny behavioral netting with wet tongues crawling
Putative changes through into city potluck...

May the New Year
Bring Ecstasy to everyone
   and hunger for none
Make the food crops grow
   and Rivers have perpetual flow
Help to halt the hatred
   and ruin the rancor
Comfort the indigenous people
   to strive against the evils
Enhance the global tourism 
    and annul terrorism
Pinpoint the phonies
   and cleanse the cities
Smash the poverty
   and increase generosity
Promulgate universal peace
Shatter barriers into pieces
   Wish you all a wonderful New year...
