Poetic Asides Haunting, Poetic Bloomings anticipation, October 5 Alaska Trip

 Vacating Vacation

 

The thing about vacations

is that they’re over fast.

Not having to cook and clean,

I wish that part would last.

 

Now, I’m a tad bit spoiled,

as it comes to an end.

Alaska is now part of me.

It’s like leaving a friend.

 

The memories are haunting

by photos that I took.

And hopefully I’ll take the time

to put them in a book.

 

I took an eight-mile bike ride,

in Juneau, in the rain.

In Skagway, Sis and I went up

the mountain in a train.

 

In Ketchikan, hiked the woods

and rode a raft-like boat.

Then we snapped pics of the glaciers

from in our ship, afloat.

 

In Victoria, we rode a trolley

pulled by two big horses

We ate really late that night,

three delicious courses.

 

But I’ll return to Colorado

With anticipation.

I’m worn out and need

a vacation from my vacation.
