On the road

by Hebe   Jul 31, 2007


I wrote this poem when I was on my vacation.
I was in the car on our way to our first camping, just like the poem says, I saw the landscape and I was inspired.
Hope you like like it, c/c/r are welcome.
Enjoy reading it.

On the road

We just left home
We're going away
On our vacation
We're riding over the highway
We're on the road

From Holland to France
That way it will go
France, a country which is hilly
Holland, a country which lay low
We're on the road

We're entering a big city
We get lost in here
In big city's we get lost all the time
So don't you have fear
Cause we're on the road

Just like a patchwork quilt
The landscape is passing by
Sunflowers and other patches
Are a pleasure for the eye
We're still on the road

We reached our first camping
After 600 miles, probably more
We're staying here, cause we're tired
My parents, myself and our dog, which we adore
We are finally off the road

    I really enjoyed this poem, it really made me smile. I can imagine this holiday that your going on, a perfect family trip. Its nice, cheerful and i get this sense of excitement when i read through your words. The repition (which is changed a little with every stanza) of "We're on the road" really extends whats point your trying to make. the poem is quite intresting and very enjoyable and carefree. The lfow of the [eice was good and worked quite well. I love this stanza;

    "Just like a patchwork quilt
    The landscape is passing by
    Sunflowers and other patches
    Are a pleasure for the eye
    We're still on the road"

    I lvoe the simlilie youve used in this. And if you think about it when your traveelling passing loads of things it can be like a patchwork quilt. The peice was very descriptive. To improve this i suggest you use punctuation in your work as itll help the reader, read the poem the way you want it to be read.
    Thank you for your comment.

    :) I like the last line. The poem is ok. There are some good parts and some parts that could use work. I'll give it a three. The patchwork part is one of my favorite lines.
