Croatia

Croatia

It seduced, enticed,

This Adriatic paradise.

With sunsets to die for

And the wars to cry for.

Scenic drives, boats rides,

Rock dives in gentle tides;

Sparkling sunlit seas;

Noisy Crickets in trees!

Huge mountain backdrops;

Driven to the top!

And the canyons yesterday

Took our breath away.

Waterfalls cascade

While swimmers bathed

In cold water they wade

But we went in, got brave!

White water raft

(We’ve had to graft).

Beautiful black butterfly;

Quick for a photo I cried!

Weather was roasting,

Toes were toasting!

On the beach after eight

Or just until very late!

House martens migrate

To a set summer date,

Make this island their home

Under eaves of stone.

Pretty jewels around

A stunning diamond crown.

Quaint coloured villages

With old and new towns.

With miles and miles

Of a thousand isles

So pretty and picturesque!

Pleased to have been a guest.

Croatia bound

I think we found

A pearl in the sea.

So much scenery

And such tranquility.

Simplicity for you and me.
