The tourists have departed 
The sun is almost down
Gregorian chants are flowing
It’s peaceful all around
On Montserrat.

a crowded raft capsizes
and refugees drown

My restless spirit
Long to see island's north shore
They share her beauty
Sparkling waters with tourists

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

Treasure trove for intimate set, tourists slide into glory hole.
Warm springs, hopping boulders, the rush of Trafalgar soul.

across the thames

but we the inquisitive tourists

rivers of lava
flowing down the mountainside - -
a chained guard dog howls

erupting lava again - -
screaming tourists run

Premium Member Nice Geese In Nice

Tourists in French city of Nice
Saw a high-flying skein of geese
Saying “Isn’t it nice?”
Frenchmen stared at them twice
Shouting “It isn’t nice, it’s Nice!”

Japanese Tourists

The chirping evokes
the poetry of Princess
Shikishi, who logged
deatails in tanka of the 
world and its soul as
Enola Gay logged shadows
on walls in Hiroshima

Hot Dogs

Chinese tourists were in a cold sweat;
our cultural foods made them upset.
After hot dogs are bought,
one’s a little distraught -
“Which part of the dog did you get?”

Tourists in new shoes
Looking for the blues of news
Every one a David Bailey
Selfie mad and share me crazy
Man and woman dog and 
Have , you , scratched that selfie itch?

The limerick shark’s on the prowl - dum dum
His face in a permanent scowl - dum dum
For his next role in Jaws,
he demands a food clause;
Amityville tourists taste foul - dum dum

Premium Member Touring Capitol Hill

A muddle of voices
    all crying foul
  Cacophony's in now
    budding diplomats howl

  Scowls on their faces
    deceit in their hearts
  tourists buy scorecards
    to tell them apart

Premium Member London Town: Highgate Cemetery

a beautiful silence
spirals from turrets
that twist like the pathways
through the bracken and grass.

the stars that still shine here
are mapped out as numbers
in a gothic hereafter
for the tourists who pass.
