The Picture which has also vanished was of an Airplane – My apologies for this continually happening.

Passports in hand
Excitement abounds
to chill and enjoy
far away lands
Drive to the Airport
park in long term
gather dust till
our return
Sit in our seats
order a drink
smile at each other
relax do not think
Our itinerary planned
we have dreamed of this
day engines start up
we’re on our way
Ears pop chew a mint
watch clouds down below
watch a movie simply
go with the flow
Hours it takes sleep
we’ve had none
the holiday we’ve longed for
has just begun
Land in a country
that we’ve never seen
experiences and memories
this is what is our dream
Ramblings From A Mum 
Nice little ditty.
Thank you and yes a ditty it is – appreciated.
Makes me wish I were headed off for vacation instead of sitting here reading well-written poems and stories about them. 🙂

Thank you! Yes I love not only holidays but the lead up, the packing, even the chaos. Thank you for your comment – appreciated 🙂
to come to Greece and meet me! 😉
Oh how I would love to do both my friend 🙂 x
Fantastic! 🙂 (now I feel like getting on a plane and going somewhere exciting!)
Made me envious just writing it too! Thanks Chook! 🙂 x
This makes me excited for our trip to Belize later this year!
I wish I was heading off somewhere – not for a while though 😦 That sounds wonderful.
I enjoy when the picture inspires poetry, nicely done
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 🙂
The things dreams are made of.
shalom,
Rochelle
I thank you Rochelle.
that sounds all very happy. well done.
this part:
Drive to the Airport

gathering dust till
“drive” and “park” are simple, present tense verbs. but then “gathering” goes participle. think about cutting that to just “gather” to keep it parallel with the others. not vital, but think about it.
Thank you Rich for visiting and the critique. I do see what you are saying, sometimes when I write, even though I feel I have re-read and edited miss very logical grammatical errors, especially with ‘tenses’. Appreciate your comments.
WooHoo! That’s me in April! Hugs xxxxx
Oh how I wish it was me – you will have a wonderful trip lovely I am sure of it xxxx
