Soğan Sarmısak...


As the sun rose like a Turkish delight
The first swimmers flew into the sea
Tables and chairs empty
Plates lonely
A beach ball lost to the wind
Soon high noon
Then the warmth beneath their sandy feet
A quench of thirst
Brings laughter and cheer
Slamming a glass down
Filling their tummies with meat and fish
Cats encircling this feast
The red horizon yawning
A boat sleeping
But the party goes on
Till the morning crows
And the coffee is served with new light

by George Sivetidis, August 2017


An artichoke seller
A 'gozleme' stove
Colours on the beach
Nuts and dried fruit at the local market
Peppers, beans and okra at the local market
Sunset at Sogan Sarmisak
A 'gozleme' maker
'Prawns', a local cat
Sogan Sarmisak interior
Peppers, tomatoes and lemons at the local market
Sogan Sarmisak in the rain
A local cockerel
