Estonia and Poland--Haikus from The Trip

***I may have lost mostly of my photos from my Scandinavian Adventure—the verdict is still out—but thankfully my notes and poems were backed up in that mysterious cloud of invisible information—and some of those notes included a few pictures! As seen in my middle of the night revelation that has resulted in my enrolling in graduate school (see last Thursday’s note), even though I was very far away from real life, my brain continued to think and my heart continued to feel deeply about things having nothing to do with the trip. Some of those “feels” (as a good friend would say) are seen here.***

Friday, 7.22.16, Tallin, Estonia

Today's my birthday
I am in a foreign place
This is rather neat

Professor Umbridge
She clears her throat like Umbridge
God grant me patience

If he wants to try
Let him try. Challenged is not
Incapable. At all.

Large Crowds of people
Pouring through the doors. Tourists.
If only worship.

7.23.16, Sea Day Poems


The day is lazy
A much needed day of rest
Vacation is hard

I want to be more
Than a negative mem'ry
There was so much more

I often wonder
Are the trails I leave behind
Lasting or fading

7.24.16, Gdansk, Poland

Morning bells ringing
Chiming the hour with bright song
Tickling the senses

Sometimes holding on
Suffocates pathways of breath.
Inhale. Let go. Breathe.

I’ve made huge mistakes
Turned left on a one way street
Yet some things were right
