Challenge
Vacation destination. Write a piece, poem preferred, but anything is fine, about the ideal vacation destination. There are rules. No naming the destination, no use of the following words: paradise, vacation, holiday, sunny, wet, tropical, fun, beach, hot or cold, sun, snow, swim, tan. Get the idea? Try slightly obscure, nothing too obvious. Show me where you want to go and paint me a picture with your words of what you want to do when you get there. I will try one too. Tag me.
Drink Deeply
Pieces of me I've neglected
Fall silently into peaceful order.
I breathe a sigh of relief,
Step off the plane,
And smile at the vineyards,
The cobbled streets,
The laughing, olive-skinned people.
I can smell the salty tint in the air,
Feel the pulse of the day radiating up.
Baking bread, fresh vegetables,
Wine, cheese, and ouzo surround me.
I drink deeply
And feel the knots
In my back
Slowly
disappearing
