Roll On November

My vacation is planned for November
And I’m filled with great expectation
Though this is not my first cruise
I look forward with anticipation.

This cruise should really be great
Cause it’s on the worlds largest ship
Its gigantic size will be a surprise
And should make for an interesting trip.

Our group includes lots of people
There are forty as of today 
Friends and relations from two different nations
England and the U.S. of A.

Excitement is what we all feel
Its been years since we reunited
The distance involved is the reason
Needless to say we will all be delighted.

This cruise will bring us together
And we all have the realization
That besides the fun things to do we have each other too
Which is well beyond our expectations.

So roll on November, roll on
It sure can’t get here too fast
The cruise week will soon be forgotten
But the reunion memory will last.

Excellent write Ralph. I am so glad to find other poets that actually like to rhyme. It seems to be a lost art. I do enjoy other kinds of poetry put sometimes I think it just comes off as being too lazy to find the rhyme. But, that's probably just me. I loved this poem and do enjoy your poetry. Good luck in the contest (finishing 2nd, of course). Joe
