Today’s host for Day 4 of the August Open write at http://www.ethicalela.com is Jeanie White of Missouri, who inspires us to write postcard poems. You can read her full prompt here.
Jeania encourages us to think of ourselves as a sock in a suitcase and somewhere we might find ourselves, or to write from a place we have never been. She encourages us to use one of the short forms – a form that would fit on a postcard.
I’m choosing an acrostic, in which the place I most want to visit reads vertically and each letter starts a new line.
Travel Fever
I want to pack my bags, go where it’s
Cold – to soak in thermal springs, to
Explore an ice cave in the
Land of Ice and Fire
Aurora Borealis dancing as the
Northern Lights
Delight the eyes and soul

Kim,
Until I read “land of fire and ice,” I thought you were describing where I live. We are thirty minutes from Lava Hot Springs, a thermal hot pool, and there are ice caves in Craters of the Moon National Monument, which is two hours away. As you know, I’ve traveled to Iceland and love it. It is an awe-inspiring place. I hope you’ll plan that trip soon. I’d love to return to Iceland some day.

Glenda, I know who to call when I get ready to get serious about it – – YOU! Did you cruise or go on a tour? We’ll talk.

Neither. We rented a car and stayed in boutique hotels. My brother and sister-in-law went with us.
