My Dream Date

My dream date would have to be romantic.
I’m thinking of a long cruise out to sea
with stop-overs at beautiful locations
and with a man with eyes for only me.

My dream date would have to be in summer
so we could lie in leisure in the sun,
sand beneath our feet and playing handsies.
Then on the cruise ship having lots of fun.

My dream date will just remain a dream.
How romantic can my old man get?
He would never set foot on a cruise ship.
Has time travel been invented yet?

Congratulations on your win. What a wonderful story/write. A cruise sounds very romantic. Never say never, one day just maybe he will go. Have a blessed day.........................

Sounds fun to me! As to time travel ... we call it dreams. We can go anywhere we want, even if they aren't real ... or are they? Dream on! Have a great week! Bill

Oh my dear dreamy romantic sister. Maybe one day, I never thought my husband would like a cruise, now I can't get him to stop booking them.

You made me smile with your last stanza ! How innocently candid and open. Your sense of humor, I greatly appreciate... Andrea. We poets are free to undertake 'time travel'. So cheer up.

No, I don't think time travel is available as of today. Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page and taking time to comment. Sara
