For today’s Poetics, I would like you to write about a vacation. Share your vacation experience with us. Whether you decide to write about the most memorable one or the one that turned out to be a nightmare, is up to you. It could be about a family vacation or a solo trip…anything!
Island Adventure
The last vacation forever
to a beautiful oasis
tucked between the posh resorts
and the desolate streets.
There were no fancy extras
no Americanized luxuries
plastic cups held drinks
bowls held rice and beans
Breads laid out each day
artisan fresh, baked by hand
That is not a jeep
Does this thing even run?
Walking across the avenue
to swim in a pool of serenity
nearly empty
except for some locals
trying to sell their wares.
An island full of adventure
a memory that must last
for no others can be made.
