A single tiny step starts a long journey
Voyage full of thrills
with no hassles of hurry
Flying blue skies, chugging in trains, or bus rickety
A nice long vacation
is a dream of untold many
Meeting new people and watching shows funny
Crack jokes witty,
or lie in sand beaches sunny
A distant clap of thunder makes one run in frenzy
Vain search for
shelter then braving nature’s fury
Guzzling umpteen beer cans n swaying to melody
Or retire by sunset holding coffee n book
perky
Balance between hogging pizza, cheese n honey
Else make do eating fries, nuts n counting
last penny
Vacations are such fun times without any worry
Forgetting old
grievances, let’s savor harmony

DeleteSuch a lovely poem. Who doesn't like vacations, especially short vacations. The long one are good, but one starts longing for home after some time. I remember going on a vacation to the US for 21 days, after we came back my husband jokingly asked whether I was game for another vacation, knowing very well what my answer would be, he is a very sly fellow.
ReplyDeleteAgree, Rama after a long holiday you miss daal chawal or sambhar rice of home:) Thanks a lot for sharing about your US vacation in the post!
