Best Travelogue Poems

Dawn comes
On the silk route;
Sun sparkles


Tour trip explores
Vistas of China;
Old and new transits


So much to see:
Lovely landscapes;
Crowded cities morphing


Words in my journal,
Thoughts on my journey;
Miracles and mysteries


Mötley tourist crowd
Eagerly guzzling down
All things China in spring rain


We take our time,
Explore the edges;
Collect instant memories


My darling translates
Classical...

Journey starts
Kunming portraits;
Highway song


Here old and new
Merge yet apart;
Vignettes juxtapose


China welcomes
Both ancient and modern;
Sign of the times


Tour group confronts
Unfamiliar grounds;
Rough edges grind


Quaint ways of old
Ancient tales displaced;
Modern day norms intervene


Spectacular vistas
Natural wonders;
Man seems insignificant


Flood tide drowns
Flushing away;
False assumptions destroyed


Gust of wind
Reveals new passages;
Knowing does not...

Discover a country by bus and train
Listen to the sound and look at the sight
Buildings may crumble but people remain

Santander port welcomes with loud refrain
Old station front, new inside, mix just right
Discover a country by bus and train

Valladolid's masonry masters reign
Once seen just leave on...

I left this world behind,
that runs faster,
hoping to explore,
with wheels of sophistication.

I connected with the nature,
flying above the clouds,
to the place unknown
with wings of my imagination.

I glanced the flowers
dancing in glory, there,
and the birds singing,
with words of my admiration.

I came back to this world
that scatters...

Observe the flow to sense a feel
As moments grow in causal will.


See change sculpt form in streaming pace
As time breaks norm to cause strange space.


Look deeper now and come to see
As poise of how and why set free.


Dare to observe the march of time
As space...

For the sands, yellow burnish, sped by,
Met the burned orange toasting,
A golden sea of vision dominance
And filled the panoramic brain pan
Until each plaque strained as if to split,
Groaning with memorials of each grain,
Until the blackness rolled in,
Whispered sleep.

Upon the oceanic aquamarine, blue surf
Met the bruised...

Taste how time speeds upon the way,
Rich textures show how fancy grows;
Ask to meet needs that face each day,
Vouch in deep flow a touch that knows;
Etch a fine dream that moves your heart,
Love laughs a lot when times look tough;
Opt thus to stream life's vivid...

(Rhymes written in a Travel Diary)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Travel in time
Reap sacred chimes
Ask to feel good
Voice each grand mood
Etch in sure thrill
Live happy fill
Opt to be kind
Glimpse heart and mind
Urge love to dance
End with each trance

Take your time now to journey here;
Ride with sure tides the routes you choose;
Ask to know how to walk with cheer;
Value each stride with feelings loose;
Empty your head of things afraid;
Look for the best in your charade;
Observe the dead to gain what's paid;
Go on your...

Taste then the feel as words scripts come,
Reach for clear thought in fond fine trace;
Ink words that heal as quest now sums,
Pique how fond lot can bridge odd pace.
Touch knows as well how fancy moves,
Reap ample poise as travel grounds;
Ask thus warm spell to craft...

Time knows clear tact where truth moves space,
Reach with your heart to feel pure ease;
Art frames deep pact as glimpse floods trace,
Voice in fond start true poise of peace;
Etch in full sketch the trip you take,
Love shows you how to live warm zest;
Opt to find...

I stuffed my pockets full of California minutes,
Set out from Bakersfield before the break of day.
Checked out a waitress at a coffee shop in Needles
Then blew through Flagstaff on my way to Santa Fe.

Cut loose and rootless, making random left-hand turns
Straight razor whiskey, gotta love...

Way beyond poise lies a sure wit,
Apt grace brings light to touch your face;
Reach that still choice where all things fit,
Mind and heart sight sure time and space.
Trust joy to flood your soul with truth,
Reap what you sow in sync with peace;
Art in fond blood...

After two weeks of riding the winds across the world,
I return to the nest where my heart had perched all along.
Meeting old souls and young flames was a melody of warmth,
Their greetings, like golden threads, wove memories into my soul.

Living alone in my quiet cocoon,...

this non conformist city
breathes a calm but edgy air
through gaps in the graffiti 
and the street art everywhere

its face is sometimes brutal
but its heart and soul seem not
and it walks a sexy diverse walk
that’s cold yet somehow hot

(but I know I’m getting older
when those fun...
