[hometext] => I'm sure I'm not alone in doing all the silly things that we seem to insist on doing before going on holiday.If you are the same you may spot yourself in this.If not, I guess you are one of the lucky ones
[bodytext] => Every year, before we even offer up the prayers To the pagan god of safe passage and suitcase longevity The temple of the now must be pacified, appeased by simplistic ritual Where it was written nobody knows,set down perhaps on mystic paper scrap. Sheets to be lain upon by nobody must be changed This is the first rule, a law irreversible, completely without question Pondering the absurdity not dared by mere mortals Brainwashed, accepting fate with pillowcase in hand Hoovering up the crumbs in a house no-one will visit Yet the irony of striving for a purpose to achieve Making it look lived in, deception carefully planned To the detail of the family, calling to water the plants Subsisting on meagre rations, creative on refrigerated bounty To buy more would be folly, it would only be squandered Questioning the illogical, can dessert be made from broccoli ? How long will this bread last, what if the milk turns sour ? The final days are focused to the journey looming close Check the money, check the tickets and the passport once again Pray for the joyful day when the picture will be renewed When the face will look more lifelike, not a remnant of the past The hour is close when the last minute becomes the forgotten Did we buy enough new underwear, did we pack enough clothes ? For the 14 nights that lie ahead, everything crossed off the list All completed, no more pre-checks for the new world [comments] => 3 [counter] => 235 [topic] => 7 [informant] => puppy_Dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
