Poems on the road

With the long bus rides I have occupied my time by writing poems. Poems to reflect our journey so far, heres a few to read.

Mosquitos

Ouch there goes another bite 

Stinging attacks taken by flight.

Quick someone get the DET 

I can hear the fucker near my feet.

Buzz,buzz, buzz that awful sound

Buzz,buzz, buzz I look around.

Armed with only just my broom

I scan my eyes across the room.

..but no where can this mozzy be seen

just the sharp hum of its hunting scream.

Buzz,buzz, buzz that awful sound

Buzz,buzz, buzz you slap it down.

Now eerie silence fills the room.

My opponent is squashed underneath my broom.

Peace at last, there is no sound...

Buzz, buzz, buzz another one has come around.

Argentinian Fix

Ham and cheese, ham and cheese, what a lovely mix

Not until you have had the Argentinian Fix.

Everyday, three times a day

Jamon and Queso as they would say.

There is no need to second guess what we are having

Ham and cheese were no longer laughing.

Ham and cheese with potatoes

Ham and cheese with bread

Ham and cheese in the morning

Ham and cheese before bed.

Ham and cheese, ham and cheese 

I think its making me ill.

Ham and cheese, ham and cheese

I think I have had my fill.

Attacama Desert

The sun beating down, not a cloud in sight

A mound of mountains form the skyline.

Sand dunes scattered standing the test of time

Gawping humans, watching benign.

A single bird soars the vast open air

not a shade to catch the suns torturious glare.

A stretch of emptyness, a wilderness land

Rolling beautiful sea of sand.

A chillian breeze ruffles the grains

Making them dance along the terrain.

Whistling through these lonely planes

Untouched, unscathed, its beauty remains.
