Zack Dicks Poet Sestina

Freedom

You've got time to book free
So, in two weeks you're off 
You've got time to pack up
You'll enjoy the travelling
Learn so much there
It'll be good for you to relax

We've got two weeks off 
A count down to being free
We should pack it all up 
It's stressful travelling
We'll unwind when we're there
We'll give ourselves time to relax

Today's the day I'm all packed up
I'm on my way two weeks off 
I've got some time to be free
I get motion sick travelling
I'll take some pills when I'm there
Then, I'll be able to relax

No more travelling
Clothes are all sorted and hung up 
What to do? I've got two weeks off
I could read by the sea in a hammock; free
I could wear sunglasses there 
Have time to snooze and relax

She throws a blanket here and there 
Catching the breeze as they're travelling 
The parasol sways where it's put up
It's about time we shared two weeks off
So, she can let her hair go free
Bask then tan quickly and relax

You said we had no more time to relax
You didn't want to leave there 
You said you were tired of travelling
You said you felt like throwing up
You'd enjoyed the time off
You said you were free

You are no longer free
We returned to a house with lights off
I say I'm fed up 
I say I'm miserable from travelling 
We share memories of when we were there
You say it doesn't matter where you are; just relax
