The 'Poem A Day' Project - Day 77 Poem by Flying Lemming

Too soon the adventure is over
And I hear the jet engines drone
Strapped into my seat, my journey complete
As I find myself heading home

I’ll add the map to my collection
Points of accommodation marked on
In a few years time, if I feel so inclined
It’ll spark memories of where I have gone

And now in the post-travel gloom
Knowing back to work I must go
But I sit and I smile, as I think for a while
About the new things that I know

How to move round a different city
New words and thoughts of what I did
Orange beer is all right, mushroom crisps a delight
But I’m not keen on salted dried squid
