By Water, Land and Air

(7/5 Trochee Form) Ships are used for transport, while speed boats are for fun: zooming over water while soaking up the sun. Those who like to fish might like slow boats or canoes, but the thought of fishing just makes ME want to snooze. Better is a jet ski for thrill of jumping waves, but for practicality, boats are not my faves. For convenience, everyone has to have a car, so for us commuters, it’s the best one by far. Jogging, hiking, riding bikes: these are for the wise. There’s not many doing them. They spell E X E R C I S E. For relaxing, there is one leisurely and grand: Take the scenic route by train If you go by land! If you need to go real far in less than a day, it’s by air you have to go. That’s the only way! Hang gliding or sky diving are for feeling free, but they seem so dangerous. Those are not for me. I would like to SAIL the sky In a big balloon underneath the dancing stars and romantic moon. For Barbara Gorelick's Contest: Your Favorite Form of Transporation

Did you see the animated movie where the man tied hundreds of helium filled balloons to his house and sailed up high in the sky? Great write, but I don't favor any of these. I am become a home body. Love, Dave

Ah! The balloon sounds wonderful! We'd have to do the train first, for my son- a train fanatic then we could board the balloon for blue skies. Lovely writing, fun! Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, kris
