Holidays - Where And With Whom?

[Hazlinny]

It seems quiet on AB today (obviously a lot of pancake making in progress) so I thought it might be a good time to launch a new poetry competition regarding holidays. I would like to know which Aber/s you would invite to go on holiday with you, where you would go and maybe tell us why you chose the person/s. Alternatively, you may like to tell us who you wouldn't want to go on holiday with! This time, there need not be the secrecy and outpouring of love we saw on the Valentine competition - this time (as it's just for fun) you can name the person if you so wish. Ladies you might want to choose a like-minded female, same with men, or you might like to go in a group, e.g. Barsel and me with Sharon and Mr. "C". You may send in as many entries as you wish (for Ken and DTC, the limit is 23). Entries close at 12 noon this Friday and best will be awarded BA - sorry no prizes this time as the Valentine's comp. broke the bank. I hope to see many more entries from the smart cookies on the Quizzes/Crosswords site - last time Mally, the Dingbat Queen, was the only entrant ... L-i-K did look in, dittyless and apologetic, at the very last minute. To encourage you, I am dedicating my first entry to one of your own and it goes like this:
Life-jacket packed I'm leaving today
I'm sailing far away
I'm looking for crew
Could that be you Captain 2?
Life will be a breeze
As we sail the seven seas
We'll play in seventh heaven
Before floating back to Devon.

Ready to go? We're all going on a Summer holiday.

Dave I asked you not to call my legs sturdy!!

[Redhelen72]

Gness anytime

[Hazlinny]

Hi Red - just been in touch with Gness to tell her I contacted her on her thread of yesterday "I can barely contain myself" not the holiday one. It was a bit of a crazy day yesterday! See you there later if you want to look in.x

Vagus, may I?

I’d lie on a beach completely starkers
No jokes about a beached whale's carcass
And before the sun sinks into the sea
Along come Ken, Arky and DTC
AB's three naughtiest nosey-parkers

[Hazlinny]

The dark horse! Amazing how quickly one can get over dyslexia!! x

I would my feet point to the West
Over hills til coastline bars
My travel onward
And I find in memories
A gentle rest
Then I would find
A road to East
Again to shores where rising sun
Shone on us, tho you now deceased
Would laugh to see the turnstones run
On promenade, when all was still
We smiled then
And I smile still
And in the West I found you first
And in the East we found such joy
In sea, and boats and seals and birds
My minds holidays with you
Now just of words
And images with which to toy,
Though now impossible to attain
To go away with you again.

Oh Rowan another masterpiece but too, too late. x

[gness]

Rowan. X lovely memories help a little.

[rowanwitch]

Deliberately late, had form to be too competitive. but still felt it was something others would relate to.

[Vagus]

Of course you may, choux :) I’m really not sure about those three voyeurs though….

[Vagus]

And I’d happily go on holiday with Rowan, I think she’s lovely..and she loves birds, which I do too.
I don’t like beer though, craft or not. I’d make do with G&T instead ;)

[choux]

^ "make do" who are you trying to kid, Vagus? ;)

[Vagus]

Ha ha, choux :) Are you available for holidays? We’d have a blast..in a very gentile way of course (NOT!) x
