For today’s prompt, write a day after poem. For instance, today is the day after Halloween in our house, but the poem could be the day after any event. Maybe it’s the day after a wonderful event, or it could be the day after a horrible event. I hope to see you the day after writing today’s poem.
MIXED FEELINGS
by John Yeo
To wake in the morning after the cruise,
I move to the window to enjoy the views
Of home and garden, green and still
Replacing the endless moving waves.
The first thing is the lack of motion,
No tossing and turning on the waves
The restless always moving ocean
Has been left behind at the dockside.
Our holiday was fantastic and exciting,
We visited new ports, far from home.
New horizons, fine foods with strange ways.
The cultures and climate were so inviting.
We are spending today in a cloudy haze
Of the distant memories on some distant shore.
The happy memories flooding our familiar ways,
As we savour the day after the days gone before.
