Dream holiday places

Dream holiday places

Oh yes, oh yeah, salams, hello, hi
Aha, oh my, oh my, oh my
My favorite dream places happen to be
coincidentally
ones that rhyme with the words
aye, aye, aye and bye, bye, bye
for I wish to fly
to divine Dubai
to showy Shanghai
to beautiful Brunei
and heavenly Hawaii
and last but not least
the land of the Thai

The only odd ones out in this rhyme scheme
of exotic favourite places of my dream
are touristy Turkey and Singapore
ah, I wrote this kinda' extempore.
So if I do go gallivanting
somewhat like Gulliver on his travels
these are of the places I'd like to explore.

Ah, it's always great to travel
and geo atlas mysteries unravel
upon God's wide world to marvel

Going places to collect and bring back memories
A collection of curios and cherished souvenirs

As indeed whenever you bring back some exotica
you enhance your knowledge with those ephemera.

So guys I'd love to fly
to travel to Turkey and Thailand
Sojourn in Shanghai
depart for Dubai
holiday in Hawaii
Board a flight to Brunei.
One has to try
to get into jetsetting style
act somewhat like the jet set
for frequent flyer mile.

This has been a poetic travelogue
for voyages are ever in vogue.

But whenever I can and if I have luck now
I know I could never tire of journeying
to Aligarh and Lucknow
For motherland India calls me like no other
a place to hug my origins, beloved dad and mother.

Ah, only if there were no travel formalities
I could be sightseeing many more cities.
Without need of passports, ticket and visa
anyone could've travelled
to watch the Leaning tower of Pisa
or even the egyptian pyramids of Giza.

But for spiritual enlightenment and nourishment the mecca of thronging visitors flocking
I wish to frequently visit Mecca as a pilgrim,
It's the favourite sanctuary for every Muslim

So O' Tinkerbell, sprinkle me too with yer fairy pixie dust
so I too can fly, and satisfy, my spasmodic wanderlust

Yeh S. Jaynab,
you nailed it - perhapsΒ 
one day you will return to
sleep on a bed of nails.
Regards,
Terry.

To wonder freely as a cloud, one can dream of such things. A cloud would be greener than a plane for sure. I think planes should be banned until they can be flown without damaging our beautiful planet, that so many take for granted. Enjoyed the wonderful wishes that anchor onto this piece with heartfelt intent.Β 

For me, I get my travels in my dreams. I am obsessed with Nebula, visitation and astral projection. The wonderment of the universe has me in aweΒ 

thanks for the write and making me contemplate on my own dreams of travelΒ

Yeahh space travel is the stuff of dreams too, would luv to go to the moon since it seems such an impossible thing.
you are so right, with all the tech they ought to build eco friendly conveyances by now.
Until then how to get from country to country neh.?
Warm thanks for great bright comment,

You are welcome. Off the top of my head, the ocean and the wind is free ;) might take longer but it would serve to keep this planet habitable. We humans are impatient and blind sighted by our need for high maintenance living. At the cost to nature. We are the only species that lives against the grain. Nature has always overcome such things with extinction. I do fear we will leave it too late before we realise what we have done to our future and this planet. But your poem wonderfully made me contemplate on this. So thank you πŸ’— Β

i love the rhyme scheme with the sound "ai" that you have created, I couldn't help but rock with the rhythm as I read. I very much loved these lines, "and geo atlas mysteries unravel
upon God's wide world to marvel."Β 
Your spirituality is obvious and beautiful! Excited to read more of your work. :)Β

Well you most certainly are well travelled with many adventures in far away ventures.
Love your choice of rhyme scheme on offer and so darned tricky to pull off and still make it read coherently.
Nicely, nicely achieved and reads uncluttered and with unforced end rhymes.
A wonderful write and fully engaging for any reader.
Poetry kudos in spades and full honours to you S.zaynab all fully deserved.
