Of My Travels (an American Sentence)

Of My Travels (an American Sentence)

Rest assured, my returns have never ended with the goal of splash down.

Nasa’s Artemis 2 returned yesterday. Interestingly, the woman (Christina Koch) is a former student of my poet friend Jane Schlensky!

Written for Robert Lee Brewer’s April Poem-a-Day challenge. Today’s prompt is to write a home poem.

Allen Ginsberg created the poetic form he called the American Sentence. It is a complete sentence of 17 syllables.

Remotely Interested in Travel

Travel host Rick Steves in Switzerland’s Jungfrau Region

With suitcase in hand as she leaves,
the thought of it drives her to heaves.
Oh what joy it might bring
but it isn’t her thing,
so she now leaves it up to Rick Steves.
