Naples is a special place
Verdant, flowers grace every space
Winding
roads, a pleasing drive
Speed limits low, arrive alive
Remnants too
of Everglades
Horizon glows as daylight fades
Long legged herons fish in
ponds
Palm trees wave their graceful fronds
Vacationers make for the
beach
Umbrellas, seats and towels in reach
Downtown for St. Pat’s
parade
Studio tour where art is made
Entertainment at the
‘Phil’
Fine shows, great performers , thrill
The sporty types can
parasail
Swim, fish, golf and cycle trail
Outside city, easy
reach
Alternatives to sandy beach
Immokalee for gambling places
Ft.
Myers for the greyhound races
Former days some things we miss
The
Chickee Bar, a place of bliss
The Dinner Theatre see great show
Fish
restaurant can no longer go
Pelicans deserve a word
An etraordinary
bird
Roosting on piles, ungainly seem
Gliding though they are a
dream
Circling thermals up they rise
In flight they
dominate the skies
Then in line they float away
Effortless at end of
day
The weather it is called benign
Warm and sunny – very
fine
Then to avoid monotony
A storm blows up to stir the sea
Waves
crash on shore with lots of foam
With tropic rain – a run for home
Mighty
clouds and rainbows too
As blue skies start peeping through
For those
who have a Nature bent
The region it is heaven sent
Birds and insects,
reptiles see
Dolphins, porpoises, manatee
From light pollution can be
free
In Everglades or out to sea
A Universe fills sky at night
For City
folk a rare seen sight
Stars, constellations, Milky Way
Planetary
motions all in play
The Moon and Venus brightly shine
While jets trace out
a steamy line
So many things to see and do
All too soon vacation
through
Returning to our other world
Into urban turmoil hurled
