~ A Traveller's Poem ~ ✈️

A silly, fun poem I wrote the day my daughter Jan was flying off on a holiday to the Mediterranean, so I texted my poem to her phone.

Travel safely my dear,
To avoid any possible fear,
Imbibe in your favourite beer,
That’ll give you plenty of cheer,
At altitude perhaps you'll feel queer,
Your head’ll be groggy, foggy & unclear,
Part of the mirth & fun, you & others cohere,
Enjoy now. But tomorrow...haha!!  😝 😵 🤢 🤮

Your zigzagging journey awaits you through the blear!

As a young girl I wanted to be an Air Hostess. Everything about the career fascinated me but as I grew older other things intrigued me. Now I have a miriad of experiences under my belt but the clouds still hold me entranced every time I venture through 'Snow' in the sky! Beautiful little number.

if you wanted to be an air hostess i assume you must enjoy flying. i wrote a new poem about my 1st flying lesson i had back in 1965. it would be great if you could run your eyes over it & comment. it is slightly long. thanks kitty.

Even tho I enjoy your poem, even more, I enjoy imagining how your daughter may have felt when she received it. I love poems that relate to someone's specific everyday life, especially when the back-story is shared, so we can put ourselves into your shoes for a bit. I can imagine that your daughter has had many occasions to be delighted, possibly dismayed, or at least feeling showered with attention, as you send her your unique POV in poems! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

hi margie, always love reading your reviews.
actually i've only written my daughter 2 different traveller's poems, on different occasions. she doesn't really say much about it so don't think she's really into poetry, she more into reading books.
pardon my ignorance but what's POV ?
cheerio carola

POV = Point of View . . . I admire your restraint in not over-sharing your poetry, where your daughter is concerned! Most of the people I know really don't care about reading poetry!

I like poems that are fun and easy to follow. Great poem.

[Carola]

thanks for reading & reviewing relic.

[Carola]

thank you relic for stopping by to read & comment. yes i think you're right many people do prefer to read shorter the poems, but i can't always oblige, gotta finish what's on my mind

[Relic]

I think the intuition knows best so it should be followed.

A mother's love is never out of reach of those heart strings. I'm sure she wore a smile from ear to ear upon reading this!

A wave to you kelly 👋

The Mediterranean is a long way, so I imagine the trip will wear on her. This lighthearted poem probably made her smile.

[Carola]

it gave her a good laugh 😀
