Notes About The Poem

Egypt

Green scene that caught and took me clean away, 
captivated on the sights as the train 
excels, on our progress in the same day,
a rare place I will never know and gain. 

The Nile amongst the fields and the beauty
of the palm trees, and brown sandy places,
camels, tall pyramids so much to see 
as we pass the sites and sun kissed faces. 

Travel between Suez, Luxor, Aswan,
Alexandria, Port Said, and Cairo. 
Breathtaking, you never have time to yawn
knowing it will be a fabulous show.

Traveling through Egypt's grace in leisure, 
a lulling train rides in comfort pleasure.
