I once met a young coatimundi,
Vacationing by the Bay of Fundy.
In hopes of staying trim,
He went for a brief swim,
But sixty-foot tides swept him to Dundee.

Vacationing Bird - A Haiku

showery suitcase
A beautiful, tall bird eats
by the bath water


vacation leaping
before eating south land chirps
beyond the worms heart

Relaxing in the sun
having fun
traveling, sight-seeing
viewing the oceans
riding a bike
in the early daylight
just vacationing
at a spa
dining with great foods
movies, shopping, going to different places
enjoying life
time for myself
enjoying life....

Winter
                           Cold, white
                  Freezing, glistening, snowing
              Snowmen, ice, butterflies, beaches,
            Swimming, berry-picking, vacationing
                       Warm, relaxed
                            Summer...

Creativity’s induced by
Reading and observing
Experimenting with life’s
Aspects and by doing
Things to stimulate the imagination
In watching events
Vacationing in many nations
In traveling and touring
That brings on elation
Yes, creativity is everywhere.

He vacationed with his girlfriend in France,
Where, on the beach, he averted his glance.
Ignoring all the heat,
He kept cool and discreet,
While he carefully adjusted his pants.

'Twas praiseworthy how he tried not to look.
He cautiously put his nose in a book.
Big and itty-bitty,
What he missed, a pity,
'Til his girlfriend said, "please help me unhook."...

There once was a snowman named Ray
Who dreamed of a tropical bay
He packed his sunscreen
And flew to the scene
But melted as soon as he lay


*I wrote this poem on January 19, 2024, as part of a ’30 days of poetry’ January challenge. This was day 19 and the prompt was:  Can you write a funny limerick about a snowman who wants to go on holiday?

Rats and cockroaches
have moved to the country.

The city is overrun with unsanitary humans,
it needs a clean cloth to thrive upon,
not the dishcloth grime
of much degraded minds.

It is a disgrace, a black mark
upon an already uncivil civilization,
however, the rats and cockroaches
are vacationing and will not return
to the metropolis

until the trash in the streets
is sanitized of mankind's
indifference and lack of interest....

Met some friends we rarely see
For a little midday treat
At a bakery with tables
So their pastries we could eat.

We caught up as we indulged;
Had some laughs within our schmooze.
It was cozy and relaxed,
Like our days spent on a cruise.

These are fairly recent pals
Met vacationing at sea,
But ten days aboard a ship
Forms a camaraderie.

So we see them when we can
And it makes the day complete
For, with pastries there or not,
Seeing them is still a treat....

A day in the park
as she walked in the dark
a day of remembrance
shining stars shimmering
rolling stones, nights of the moon
sunshine brights
lights in the making
deep blue sky
awaken
not shaken
the stars as they shine
valentine and flowers
state of the mind
a romantic evening out
dinners and passionate sights
he wept tears
scenes so beautiful
vacationing days out
as they both arrived in Paris
riding on a carriage, now married
a genuine love beyond
new life begins....
