Our Summertime Travel @prydefoltz

We scurry across the avenues
Sometimes we ride on ocean cruises
We sing at festivals
Ruining our hearing with high decibels
Anything to escape reality choices
Our spirit and body rejoices!
The natural and manmade spectacles
Our summertime travel.

From Iceland to Zimbabwe oohs
We delight in discovering new hues
Our pictures and mementos release chemicals
To remind of us of the sights, wonders, and smells!
On the projector screen we peruse
Our summertime travel.

I don't ever think a poem is lazy! You went all over the world in yours :)

Those longer days do indeed bring out a different side to our personalities. We are more positive and adventurous when the sun hangs long in thy sky, for sure:)

@prydefoltz Everytime I visit a new place I feel free. I think that is one of the great notions of summer vacations. We can just explore and be kids again.

Lol, awesome poem, and love that strut you had going on. :)

Beautiful I must say, the life of an adventurous traveller.

@botefarm One of these days, I'm just going to catch a redeye to Iceland and swim in the Blue Lagoon.

Great poem! It depicts all the feels in summertime travel. Indeed, our spirit is awe-stricken by God's creation. How wonderful, isn't it? Have a great weekend! 😊

You’ve penned the power of travel to uplift and release us from our daily trials.

@momzillanc Thanks for reading. I was trying to capture the freedom we all feel as travelers.

The voice speaks to me of something profound. From the search for answers with the change of routine. Summer trips to different sites allows you to see the world with another vision, from another perspective. The exchange with other cultures opens the senses and experience, makes us more sensitive and we almost experience what others live in other parts of the world. Good job, @wordymouth. I enjoyed your poetry.

@zeleiracordero Whenever I meet someone new I latch onto their habits and manners. It's amazing to see how something we do is entirely different in a newfound culture. I need to travel more. 😍

Excellent post!

@hiranur Thanks. The muse was working overtime.

Lovely write mate, there's so much nostalgia contained in just that phrase 'our summertime travel'. We go, we see, and then we remember forever after. Beautiful, and poignant, because it only lasts so long. Will you be jetting off again this year? :)

Probably road trips and maybe some photo treks.

Nice one :) Hoping it will be as memorable as these trips obviously were - and safe travels!

@lazarus-wist Most of my trips end with a safe return. We have some memorable adventures, though.
