Reena’s exploration challenge

Tell me son, in which country
do you want to vacay?
I’ll take you there,
for traveling has become a miniature play!

The whole world is, as if,
as big as its map.
The great inventions,
have between the continents,
filled the sea gap!

Tickets are just a click away.
Travel agents have the travel plans,
just e-money required to pay.
So many flights you see –
flying over oceans like a bee!

Flying over seas, countries and forests,
Unlike me, for you,
no more of the house arrests.
Let your likings be visited,
Let your dreams be explored!

Mine were different days –
Flights were the richer’s plays!
Vacation days were spent in an outdoor game,
Family gatherings, and near about picnics
were the fame!
Ships took days to the destination.
Cars were the upper classes’ selection!

Spotting countries on a world map
Filled us with joy.
Let me…

I will always love you

If you live in thedesert,I will love you

If you live in the tropical rainforest, I will love you

If you live in the temperate forest, I will love you

If you live in the tundra, I will love you

If you live in the taiga, I will love you

If you live on the grasslands, I will love you

If you live in the savanna, I will love you

No matter where you are in the world, I will always love you.

I am here

Far from home

I want to go back but

There are lot of restrictions

The flights are suspended, borders closed

Daily I check for flight schedules to see if I can

Get booking to fly to my home country

But I am disappointed every day

But I am still hopeful

I will get there soon!

When the pandemic broke, a lot of people who were out of the country for work, business, or vacation were stuck in foreign countries. This poem is a reflection of their…

Surveying cool grey slate,
Shapes form, then colors
Rainbowed characters drawn
Shade shift, flavors pique
Sensory extravaganza

But only in our minds
What is is a unidimensional
Flat map of what could be
How do we inflate the dream
Into three dimensions?

Winds, planets, satellites
Water pools, veins, capillaries
Mountains, valleys, caves
The greenleafs and furred
The scaled and naked ones

Three dimensions lush, full
But still an empty caricature
Without holy, magic things
Meandering in, between spaces
Hearts, souls, cosmic synapses

Trump
screwed us
royally.
The world hates him
and now we cannot travel anymore.
