Highest peak in Spain
and mother of Tenerife;
we leave you in peace.

Holiday shackles
.
The all-inclusive
branded wristbands are removed;
not my cup of tea.

Tower of power

Slide of blind panic,
a hillside in five seconds;
solo water chute.

Vulcan

Deep from the belly
of Mother Earth, lava spews;
burning red rivers

Hotel WiFi

When four into three
won’t go, each of us bumping
the next; rotation.

Family time
.
Playing knock out whist
and rummy; these are the days
we will remember.

Tenerife

Island cast adrift
from Africa’s desert shore;
volcanic mountain.

Airport time
.
Tenerife awaits;
a mixture of excitement
and anxiety.

Running the gauntlet
The walk to my school
filled my heart with a deep dread;
cap and bag held tight
I was an easy target
for bullies on the estate.

Warm
Warm still greenhouse air
tinged with the delicious smell
of tomato leaves.
