Premium MemberMoon Vacations in 2050

For those who qualify for this costly trip,
permits will be given for travel to the moon.
Friends, family, or lovers may apply as a unit
for this one and only “out-of-the-world” experience
lasting no more than one week.

Since the moon has already been colonized
by the greatest of our world’s minds,
moon vacations are comparable to 
educational fun field trips

City Vacations

To some, vacations mean a beach,
With nothing but relaxing.
To go to a museum 
Would be boring, even taxing.

But both my husband and myself
Prefer to go exploring 
In cities where we’ve never been
To do a little touring.

We seek museums, stores and parks
And neighborhoods to walk through 
Where maybe we will come across 
Some locals we can

Premium MemberSnow Bird Elf Vacations Confidently

Toadstool house was surrounded by four leaf clover guards
Most thought they were decorative, but they had ears and minds.
They recorded all of the things the mice and the rabbits thought
Mind readers and repeaters, what more could a vacationer ask for?
Snow bird elf could not wait to return and see what they had learned.

Summer Vacations

Memories of my childhood often resurface, 
from the deep trenches of my mind and, 
a soul lost in the waves of day-to-day hassles, 
finds itself risen up to the realm of rejoice. 

Those summer vacations in my native place, 
memorable moments of month-long holidays, 
carefree days with nothing but play
with cousin sisters and cousin brothers.

Summer Vacations

Joji Varghese Kuncheria
Summer Vacations

I looked forward to summer holidays,
Free from school, to run away, to
My maternal home amid paddy fields,
Reachable only by boat those days.

To play on snake boats in the lagoons,
To go fishing around the back waters,
And give the catch to nanny to be fried,
And eat it all well before lunch time.

We wait for

Premium MemberVacations and Vacating

What's a 'vacation,' anyway?
It should involve 'vacating' --
But need one vacate his place 
   of residence and 'go somewhere?'

Isn't it enough to vacate one's job
to rid oneself of the headaches, the
worries, the deadlines, the politics
the gossip, the backbiting and the
backstabbing, and all the hundreds
   of other job-related unpleasantries?

Vacations

Like a snap of your fingers,
A tiny reprieve,
Vacations transport you
But then you must leave.

And as you head home
There’s a list to be made
Of things to take care of
And bills to be paid.

Of course, it’s a comfort
Resuming routines
But moments will linger
On internal screens.

You’ll find yourself smiling
Remembering those
You met on your travels
Or places you’d pose.

Away time is

Other People's Vacations

When friends recount their travels
They sound wonderful, although
Most often they describe a place
I might not want to go…

Or even if the destination’s
Someplace to entice,
Their version of the trip is not
My type of paradise.

For everyone’s vacation
Is unique, like DNA.
We all have certain things we like
To do when we’re away.

We’re lucky if, vacation-wise,
Our plans can be in

Memorable Vacations





Queensland was a dream come true,
Along forest lake walks under the blue,

Summers of December 2010 on my sis' invite,
Excited we were for the double delight,

Long travel concluded into a toast,
Beaches and sea, Byron bay and Gold Coast,

Gold of sand slipped under our feet,
Glittered in sun the irresistible greet,

Waves that thrashed on us with every

Premium MemberMemorable Vacations

We were together
On sandy beach
Sweet wind caressing
My hair with sun.
One month it lasted
With sound of sea
And our kisses
Shiny delight.
One month of love
Which still now lasts
Deeply in my mind
With sound of sea 
and our kisses
Shiny delight.

Premium MemberMemorable Vacations

Memorable vacations  weren't in my future
Elk season came around and guess where my husband spent vacation
My desire to acquire a vacation with him to a romantic paradise wasn’t meant to be
Over and over I would plead asking him, please
Ruining his was not permitted
Adding the expanse to his hunt and be with his friends was

Waterfalls and beach balls 
breakfast in bed with bear claws 
Nothin I like better than a vacation 

Paper work and people wastin my time 
Ain't nothin I hate more than waitin in line

Pet Vacations

Pets take vacations all throughout

the year,

It doesn't matter if inclement weather

is near,

They take adventurous rides with their Masters,

even in the midst of natural disasters,

They soak up the rays minus the sunscreen,

loving the water and the beach because

they like to preen,

The animals love to get away to places

their families have been,

At the end of their vacations
