Greece - Of Ancient Ruins and Sunkissed Beaches
Of Greek Gods and Goddesses,
And many ancient sites.
Where first few chapters of history began,
Of shinning armor and handsome knights.
Lit in vivid hues, pure - mostly white,
Greece - An absolute delight!

Boats parked on coastline,
Boats parked on coastline,
Sun kissed beaches with light breeze.
Rugged mountains spelling marvel,
Roads lined with Olive trees.
Greece - A charming feat!

Cradle of Civilization,
Cradle of Civilization,
An archeological feast.
On the backdrop of whitewashed houses,
A rare combination of modern and obsolete.
A cruise on the sea, walk along the beach,
Where in thin air religion swells,
Or in the lanes of Athens,
Where history dwells.
Greece - With age vistas turned sweeter.

Traveling to the land so far,
Traveling to the land so far,
Juggle to find flights, hotels and rental car.
To be money-wise is a trick,
Being a smart traveller in corporate bazaar.
Have to search, compare in best possible manner,
Or simply surf the website of SkyScanner.

ReplyDeletePages off Life
You just replaced Spain by Greece as my dream place to go :)....very innovative poem btw...Must have been mighty hard to write this...worth the effort !
ReplyDeleteWow. You have made Greece a absolute must visit place for me. And its a change from an ancient place I would rather skip to a place that now an a must must for me.. :)
ReplyDeleteI already crave to visit Greece and this poem made my desire stronger!!
ReplyDeleteNice Idea!!
U tempted me to add Greece to my VISIT list :) I Wrote about France but honestly If I have money will spend rest of my life in travelng
ReplyDeleteThose were nice flowery words about Greece.
ReplyDeleteBut somehow these didn't tempt me to visit, cos I think if more was written about what unique things could one do there - then it'd have been more alluring. This was more about what's been there already. But a nice one.
This is really a nice poem. I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDelete@Everyone - Thank you for reading and for your generous feedback :)
