Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Two Saturdays

Last Saturday we were in France;
To go abroad, we took a chance.
We got to sightsee, dine and dance
And stroll through charming streets.

We had some laughs and made some friends,
Which oft are travel’s dividends
As from real life, a trip transcends
With unexpected treats.

This Saturday I’m stuck at home
With Covid, not about to roam
But able, still, to write my poem,
With which this line completes.

Gary Radice July 28, 2024 at 1:12 PM Lovely poem and indeed a poem of two Saturdays Ilene. I recently returned from Belfast and discovered I had Covid. (I felt rotten - probably caught on the return plane full of coughing people). France is such a lovely country. Hope you had a great time. Cheers - Gary Ilene Bauer July 31, 2024 at 9:39 AM Thanks Gary! I know many people who’ve come home from traveling with Covid. Hope you’re feeling better - I’m finally over it and yes, I had a lovely vacation…

Gershon Wolf July 21, 2024 at 5:52 PM 'A Tale of Two Cities,' perhaps... Ilene Bauer July 31, 2024 at 9:40 AM Ha, very true, Gershon! (You’re bringing me back to 9th grade, when I read that in Mrs. Dicker’s class.)

Yann Rolland July 21, 2024 at 5:50 AM sorry for the covid, dear poet, but you will keep good memories of France, i think planes are unsafe for covid, take care, enjoyed your touching poem Ilene Bauer July 31, 2024 at 9:41 AM France was wonderful, Yann! And yes, the plane was filled with coughing and sneezing people…

Eileen Manassian July 20, 2024 at 3:42 PM Oh! Sorry you got sick. Hope going to France was worth it! Seems like it was from your write. Been to France. Loved the experience. Hope you get better soon. Ilene Bauer July 31, 2024 at 9:42 AM Thanks, Eileen! I am better now and I’m glad that I went to France. It was a great trip…

Jan Allison July 20, 2024 at 3:02 PM It seems its been an eventful journey is so many ways Ilene, so glad you are well enough to post your poems and get well soon:-) hugs Jan xx Ilene Bauer July 31, 2024 at 9:44 AM Thanks, Jan! I went on this trip knowing there was a good chance I’d get sick, but I’ve been doing too much of nothing lately and the change of scenery was great. I’m glad I wasn’t there for the Olympics, though - better to watch it from home…
