NaPoWriMo day 25 – April 25, 2021

Hello All. Today’s prompt is to write an occasion poem. I know the occasion I am looking forward to is that first trip. Thank you for visiting.

First Trip
 First Trip 
  
 Browsing the fares
     And checking the seats
 Packing my luggage
     Planning my treats
 Fresh new feelings to
     A familiar old tune
 I’m going on my first trip again soon
  
 Months and months of
     Stay at home
 My body in one place
     The mind longs to roam
 Family faces smiling
     Not seen in a blue moon
 I’m going on my first trip again soon
  
 My shots are all done
     The time now awaits
 Cozy Light Rail rides to
     Lofty airport gates
 My mask still in place 
     Until all are immune
 I’m going on my first trip again soon
  
 Carry on strategies
     To help manage delays
 Reverse treadmill exercise 
     On the moving walkways
 A nibble or splash 
     At the airport saloon    
 I’m going on my first trip again soon
  
 I’ve spent a whole year
     Looking up at the sky
 The engines will roar
     Through the clouds I'll fly
 Feels like a butterfly
     Breaking free of the cocoon
 I’m going on my first trip again soon
