The secret ring

While on our holiday in Spain, my family and I visited a small seaside town called Cadaques. The town had a Mediterranean feel to it, as all the houses were white, and there were small rock beaches. There was also a ring that I saw whilst there. I like to think of it as a secret ring. The secret ring A ring of azure, over a cerulean base, gifted by the gods, to the seas of Cadaques. A beautiful ring, That Mediterranean Cadaques, wears on her finger, It is this ring, that pronounces her engagement, To the rest of the world. This secret ring, that shows itself once in a blue moon, that shows us, that Mother Mediterranean, is there for us. The "secret ring" was most probably formed by alga lying on the sea's surface. Cadaques is a beautiful town, and is great for a day visit. I hope you enjoy my imaginative poems. I only write imaginative poems occasionally, but it's fun to write them.

Marble

I'm currently in Barcelona, Spain, travelling with my family. We reached in the evening ,following which we went out for dinner. After dinner, we walked around a bit, and I saw a beautiful piece of marble. It was oddly shaped, and it wasn't white, but to me it was marvelous. Here is a poem I wrote about it: \ Marble Strings of Black, On a bed of grey, Meander into each other, Creating the perfect marble Pure white it may not be, Nor may it be in a square, Dark and Mysterious, This marble that hangs in the air The marbled sky, visible in between two trees,  is a splendid view, The marble of the sky. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the sky as it was yesterday. If I can see a marbled sky today, I will be sure to update the post, and add in the picture, though it may not match my description. -Poetic Fanatic
