Inspiring Travels Across the Country

To write means being calmly relaxed
it's so soothing upon one's mind
giving the words freedom to flow
loosen one's self to be no longer blind

It's so inspiring to travel by coach
looking across the green pleasant land
such magnitude of the mountainous hills
the Scottish landscape makes one stand

As I sit always on the window side
the scenery a feast upon the eye
words come full of insightful truths
desires full of ink penning sky high

It's always a joy to write on a coach
the mind dreams of another kind
filled with sugar sweet all things nice
my hand writes forever signed

My trips south, north, east and west
uphill down dale so expectant
bringing inspiration to my heart
this makes one look so aspectant

(I have written this to show the places where I find the most inspiration to write my poetry.)

Hi Gordon, Scotland is known for it beautiful countryside - we made a big mist about four years ago, we were given a car on loan by Elias'as cousins and we toured but what can you see in just two and a half weeks of England and Scotland. We have been looking a these little homes on TV and people are making RD's their permanent home as they travel and stay where they like for as long as they like - this would be my dream. Still have to persuade hubby. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

I think it is awesome that you travel in a coach. Seeing the countryside gives one exceptional imagery as in your poem. Very nicely done.
