I’m trying something new this week. This is a digital art image. It shows a man standing in front of a square portal that shows a scene from another place. Stairs lead up to this portal.

I’m going up the portal

To be full of fun

To the sea to snorkel

Get on with the hurdle

For sure it shines, the sun

I’m going up the portal

May die tomorrow, we’re mortal

What we have done is done

To the sea to snorkel

I like to giggle and chortle

Negative vibes away I shun

I’m going up the portal

I think all soil’s fertile

Complaints I have none

To the sea to snorkel

I love yellow and purple

In the summer I like to run

I’m going up the portal

To the sea to snorkel*
