Snapshot #61

On an adventure with Studly Doright on his 59th birthday. I call this one, “DrivingThrough New Orleans.”

New-to-me

Places I’ve never been

Are my favorite destinations

I cannot wait to place my

Feet on new-to-me land.

Don’t get me wrong;

I’d have been a terrible

Pioneer.  

 

Scared of snakes,

Petrified of the unknown,

Reluctant to venture 

Outside the camp’s 

Boundaries.

Still, there is a large

Part of me that needs the

Thrill of driving on 

New-to-me roads, of

Treading on new-to-me

Sidewalks, of eating

New-to-me foods.

  Like an overgrown 

Child on a raucous

Rollercoaster,

For the very first time:

Hands in the air

Stomach in my throat

Wheeeee!  

Antigua, here I come.

Peace, People!

Sometimes up is down
All depends on where one’s bound
Adventure awaits

I seldom attempt haiku, but there was a challenge circulating on WordPress, and I can never pass up a good challenge. Funny thing is, I’m not exactly sure what the rules of the challenge were. It had something to do with the picture of the escalator and a haiku. I think. Is there a prize???
