Boarding at Gate B6

Where to, I travel

Time to unravel

Rush, hustle, mass of people

Some vacation bound

Excitement, the sound

Heard atop a church steeple

Some not so happy

No mood for sappy

Ill family is waiting

Your arrival soon

Touch down people swoon

Praying, now grief abating


Melissa is the host for this week’s Tanka Tuesday challenge. She has presented the form, Alouette, for writers to join in. A first time writing an Alouette for me. Hope you enjoy. 

Boarding at Gate B6 is about certain moments in life. The times to cultivate life by traveling for much needed vacations. Also, times of travel to show love and care for family/friends who fall ill.

Can You Answer This? If You Only Had One Pick, What City Would You Visit?

If You Only Had One Pick, What City Would You Visit?

Miami, Florida

Beautiful places abound in the world. We don’t always get to travel to those places. The reasons range from busy schedules, finances, to family obligations and so on. If you can pick only one city, where would you go?

Would you go to the south to New Orleans aka (Norlans), Louisiana? Known for its jazz music, rich Cajun and Creole cuisine and historic French Quarter.

Charleston, South Carolina is another historic place also known for their diverse food. The coastal waters and southern charm are also a sight or sore eyes.

Travel up the east coast to New York City, NY. The city that doesn’t sleep. Visit Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge. If you are into theater, the city is in no short supply. You can find lots of things to do and many places to eat. Don’t forget to grab a slice of pizza or a Sabrett hot dog.

Go West to the city of San Francisco, California. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge. Try great food in San Francisco. The roads are steep but there are many different neighborhoods to see.

Miami, Florida is a vibrant city. The warm and clear water is beautiful. Miami is a city rich in culture and history. Check out Little Havana. Also, Miami has amazing architecture. The night life is one of its attractions too.

Which of these cities would you pick to visit, if you only had your choice of one? If your city of choice is not one on the list, leave a comment. Tell us about it and why you would visit that city over others.

Thank you for reading💞🙏🏽

Nestling Journeys

Journey Awaits
Journeys begin in my head
Far away destinations
Some real some imagined instead
I pack my luggage no hesitation

I'm only going for 3 days
I need six pairs of shoes, 5 dresses
Shades and swimwear for the bays
No need to worry about my tresses

Sleepwear and slippers a must
What about my gym clothes
Oh yeah, pack those too
Glad my hair is braided, no need to fuss

Next journey will be lighter
No need for so many cases
Serene waters so much brighter
Sunglasses will help cover my bases

What's all the ruckus
I want to go where I don't need a car
Just hop on my bike and go
Cycle the scenic route 'til my heart is full


Nestling Journeys is written in response to Sadje's prompt.

Thank you for reading! 🙌🌼

Travelling
