Summary: I looked, I saw, I wrote.. The most spontaneous thing I have ever written and all with in ten minutes. Looking across the bay of Naples from my hotel it really did just pop into my head and I had written it down within ten minutes. If you look at the photo on my show case you will see what I mean, the photo was taken minutes after I had written this so I could remember that inspirational moment forever!




The blue of the sky dips sharply
to meet the ocean, a panoramic view
broken only by Vesuvius puncturing
the horizon, It rises a thousand feet
deadly in its beauty it stands for all to wonder;
proud and powerful yet unconcerned
it sleeps, daring to be woken.
