Sara Kendrick Poet Other

Notes About The Poem

This is about a recent vacation of someone other than me. 

All In All

The bed was so hard
I could not sleep
Upon a couch I spent a week

When the sun wasn't out
It was dark, gray and dreary
The wind whipped from the north
So weary

The food wasn't very good
The bacon cheap
And the bread stale
The grits were dry, hard and coarse
Oh, well
 
The seas birds were quiet 
And I was hoarse
All in all, I guess
It was grand plan
I held hands with my man

Bill Baker February 20, 2024 at 10:44 PM I'm glad they at least got to hold hands. :-) Sometimes our holidays or vacations just don't turn out to be like we thought or planned. Nice poem, Sara. Your poet friend in Texas, Bill Sara Kendrick February 21, 2024 at 5:39 AM Bill, I think holding hands makes up for all that went bad, but that is my opinion. LOL..Your visit was delightful. Sara K

Valsa George February 20, 2024 at 9:56 PM When we are on a vacation we expect a jolly time with nice food and accommodation. If our experience is just contrary to what we have been dreaming, our mind will sink into despair. This sounds a bad vacation. However it has given you a topic to write a beautiful poem... dear Sara. Sara Kendrick February 21, 2024 at 5:38 AM Yes, definitely something to write about. I hope that the next person that stays at the same place won't end up having to sleep on the couch. Sara K

Victor Buhagiar February 20, 2024 at 11:43 AM Good thing this was not your holiday. One must be careful which motels one must choose.
