2017 April PAD Challenge: Day 10

Well, we just made it in from Austin. 18 hours, but we’re back home, and the kids are all sleeping in their beds. Yay!

For today’s prompt, write a travel poem. Your poem can be about the process of traveling, planning to travel, vicariously traveling through television programs, or however else you’d like to take this prompt.

Here’s my attempt at a Travel Poem:

“watching the tour”

watching the tour de france
is partially about the sport

both the physical endurance
& the cunning strategy

but it’s also about the views
of mountains & castles

& small villages filled
with people & stories

i’d one day like to visit
