With Real Toads: departures and arrivals

Fireblossom, of Shay's Word Garden, was just sitting on a toadstool minding her own business, when Kerry handed her a day on Real Toads, which she decided to call Fireblossom Fridays. For today's prompt, she posted photos of the beginnings and ends of journeys and asked us to write about arrivals and departures... a theme
right up the unfittie's traveling alley!
(The photos used here are
my own, posted for
Imaginary Garden With Real Toads.)


departures and arrivals
are the story of my life
I blog about them almost every day
most of them have happened
because I am the wife
of a man for whom Go's the game to play
we travel here
we travel there
in each and all directions
on airplanes
on cruise ships
in automobiles
and trains that have many sections
he swings through
jungles on ropes
while I sit beside waterfalls
then, later, we meet
for something to eat
in restaurants and dining halls
we use a map
or flip a coin
to plan the next day's diversions
whether to nap
or whether to join
in the organized excursions
we've seen a lot of the world by bus
but the trouble
with the world is
there's always more of it than of us
so I'm tired
and don't know
where to go next.
