Author's Note: In my writing class this summer, we have been using writing circles to choose topics and share our writing. One of our topics we chose last week was "traveling." The poem I wrote was an attempt to practice using parallel structures in creative writing. I hope it enhanced the overall imagery and emotions in the poem--enjoy!
I soak up the colorful, bustling streets
or calm canals
or lively festivals
My feet leading me to old friends
or new ones met along the way
I smell the sweet aromas of the salty ocean
or steaming food vendors
or crackling campfires
My mind and soul uplifted
by each new sensory experience
I taste the foreign flavors of soft, savory dim sum
or spicy crawfish
or fragrant couscous
My taste buds craving
the next tantalizing bite
I board the plane dreaming of my next trip there
or stories to tell back home
or memories of new friends made
My thoughts meandering toward plans
for my next big adventure
