EARLY RISE
Misted mirror hangs
Reflected image unseen
Rivulets on glass.
Spring morning breaking
Sunshine on low distant hills
Long shadows emerge.
A journey well planned
Packaging now completed
Suitcase firmly closed.
Tickets in pocket
Nervous anticipation
Proceed to the desk.

May the trip be filled with wonder and love.
May all trips be filled thus.
Where ya going? Bognor by plane?! They say Margate's the No.1 dirge spot now. Apologies to folk living in either place. A fine write and pic Michael.
Not going anywhere by plane - spending a week at the airport.
Oh this is the funniest comment ever............ enjoy the airport!
Beautiful flower pic and super write Michael -- wishing all the best for that coming trip.
Thanks Fay - end of next week - 14 of us for a few days - children and grandchildren.
Ohh good, a week's holiday at an airport. I must try it soon! heehee.
Keep it to yourself Orchi or everyone will go there and spoil the peace and natural beauty of it all.
Wish I was going on a trip now! That is the most unusual flower I have ever seen! I'm heading straight off to look it up! Update: found them! Going to order bulbs for next year!
hope they prove a success Lorna
The airport is lovely at this time of year. Oops, now I've said it they will all want to go - as you say!
You can play 'Spot The Shabbiest Dressed' - a great game and there's always plenty of competitors.
Thanks MIKE I love chequered an gingham patterns ~ awesome flower ! Suitcase & Ticket (and Passport if going abroad) that all you need but all three cause rise of blood pressure ~ like Attractive Nurses ! Yours BRIAN
These are strange flowers - not the most showy but so intriguing . don't forget the tickets - how many times do you check that you have them on the way to the airport?
Michael,
Iām catching up on my reads! Iām going backwards...as life goes sometimes!
A super write...of course...and I love the pic of that unusual beautiful flower! Iāve never seen it before! Thank you for sharing!
So youāre going on a trip! Enjoy and be safe...and donāt forget those tickets!š
~Laura~
Only a short trip within the UK (and not for a while yet anyway) although the poem was just something I wrote without a thought about my own impending break.
What the poem read like going backwards? Probably an improvement ! š
Haha š¤£
I would love to go backwards to certain pockets of my past...especially to the age of 2-5 years old! Other special times...when I got married...when I gave birth to my two children... etc.
There are definitely pockets of my past I donāt want to go back to!
Iām sure this applies to many...not just me!
Oh indeed - I would love to go back to meet up with my parents again - I love(d) them dearly but sometimes think I didn't demonstrate it to them as much as I could . I would love to go back to other periods of my life but with todays wisdom - my life would have steered with different emphasis. Having said that I have had a great life and consider myself to be one of the privileged few - loving parents, great children and grandchildren, the most wonderful wife and a successful career which I loved.
But I've still not read the poem backwards !!!
Privileged indeed!
Sounds awesome to me, Michael! You have been showered with many blessings! May they continue till the end of time!
The best one is āpockets in ticketsā!š¤£š¤£

Yaaaa! A new form invented - shall we call it an Edaura?
Sure, why not...
Edaura...I like it! š
