Enjoying the ride
I like to visit my village,
when my children demand,
for a vacation trip, less expensive;
as they like the greenery of the field.
Our ancient villa, there,
is a little far,
away, from a small river;
Many boatmen sail boats in the river.
Occasionally, we go to the river side,
walk to and fro on the sandy mush,
enjoying many a bird,
plunging into the water and gulping fish.
Once, while taking a stroll,
on the bank of the river,
we could see a tortoise, with the head, tall,
on the surface of water.
Suddenly, we heard a splashing sound,
made by a jumper frog,
and it sat on the back of the tortoise, looking around,
for a while, enjoying the ride, agog.

Medhini,
a good descriptive piece.
We take our holidays to relax and take it easy but we should be wide awake and observant. Why? Because we are on our own time now and the joy and pleasure from even the smallest thing is ours.
You brought us along the river-bank, thanks,
Gion
