Havana Skies
Hey kids
Check out this still Havana sky
Where magnificent
Delta winged frigate birds fly so very high
Then be
Prepared to rest a while
Beside some long lost turquoise swimming pool
And marvel
As these
Sun bleached rainbow towels they dry
Tempting emerald hummingbirds
To sip from them
Hey kids
Just listen to those eagles cry
The swallow and the swift must surely be
Both the dolphin and the porpoise of the skies

An eloquent write N. I'm on me way to Havana. At least you won't hear me sing then. Or you in Havana already?!
Havana is fantastic my friend, everything about it is great..... cheers Neville
I slipped on my Havanna Skiis, lowered my goggles and was off down the...what... wait... this isn't piste, i'm pissed.
Frig-it bird, wake up!
Methinks there are missing (politely withheld in the interest of decency) verses here Neville for there are more birds to espy than those you mention when relaxing beside a cooling pool.
However, i get the relaxing picture you create.
what a poetic response to my words my friend... those frigate birds look like prehistoric pterodactyls in flight so they do... check em out.... oh' and many thank you's for checking in.. Neville
Am packing my bags as I write to experience that flight into fancy under Havana skies. Great read Neville.
I would certainly recommend Cuba as a holiday destination, we have been twice and would certainly go again..... thank you Fay.... Neville
Nicely expressed, Neville, and the birds up in the sky where I live display their stunts for hunting prey with such majestic flight mobility it's actually amazing watching different types of birds swoop down and glide back up with the wind blowing hard it's difficult to land underneath your Havana skies. A super tribute to the dynamic skills both of the swallows and the swift must surely be. A beautiful, intrinsic look into bird life.
thank you Kevin.. many thanks indeed.. yes those birds are amazing creatures and among my favourites..... Neville
Super subject done justice in poetry.
thank you Michael, much appreciated and true..... Neville
There are certain moments, the one you so poetically recalled, that are etched in memory forever, to be revisited fine and time again.
I certainly would not turn down the opportunity of seeing it all again.. many thanks Suresh, Neville
Wonderful sights to behold come from your words straight to my mind.
what an absolutely lovely thing to say my friend, I am both honoured and truly grateful to you GF60.. Neville
