Holiday Routine

Travelling Poetry

By Chloe GilholyPublished 9 years ago 1 min read

I’ve worked hard all week

From the papaya dawn

To mauve dusk

Counting the days

Till I get on that flight

Jumping in and out the shower

Crawling in and out of the bed

Rinse and repeat

Counting the days

Till I get on that flight

About time I’ve had a day off

Sitting in the bed

The sun’s on my face

Counting the days

Till I get on that flight

The itineraries in my head

The maps on my phone

Drink in my lap

Counting the days

Till I get on that flight

And here I am

Making sure everything is fine

Don't want anything to go wrong

Counting the days

Till I get on that flight
