Learning Patience! (Also I am going on holiday!)

  • Hello everyone! This is a strange poem I wrote randomly and on the spot! I first want to let you all know I am off on a wonderifically amazing holiday tomorrow and will be gone for 5 days!

    I really hope you enjoy this poem, its a bit fun I think!

    Learning patience

    At last at last!
    No more wait!
    Finally now!
    I am going away!

    My bags are ready
    They have been checked twice
    I packed all that I needed
    And some things… well I didn’t

    They are loaded in the car
    I buckle down in my seat
    This is it… I giggle,
    My holiday is here!

    The car starts to rumble
    Then lets out a purry roar
    And then with a WOOSH
    Things begin to move fast

    There’s so much excitement going on around me!
    The outside window is a blurr,
    We past different coloured cars,
    But it just seems to go on!

    I then fidget with the windows
    I make a strange odd face
    I humm an odd tune
    “Are we there yet” I whine…

    Then with a little bit of a grumble!
    And a twitchy tapping foot…
    I let out a “Hmpth” …
    This wasn’t what I was promised!

    But then before I knew it,
    Unplanned and unexpected
    My eyes began to drift…
    Then Zzzzzz… I was a snooze

    When at last I began to wake,
    With a stretch and a “yaaawwwnnnn”
    I rubbed my eyes and took a breath,
    Then turn my head to window…

    There in front of me is a beach!
    The most blue water ever seen!
    The sand a beautiful gold!
    Topped with a gentle breeze!

    I open the door so slowly,
    Stepping out to this new world…
    “I can’t believe it” I say to myself
    This holiday is going be amazing!

    Its then that I realize,
    That it was the wait that made it more great
    That sometimes we have to be patient…
    And that now doesn’t always mean best
