Just pack your bags and leave your home
Why sit at home when you can roam?
See all new ways, walk on new ways
Say ‘aye’, say ‘yes’, and shun all nays
To far off places is all fun
In snow, in rain, and even sun!
What matters is that you must go
And then, I know, you won’t feel low!

Good to know that you liked the poem, Harsha. The poem is a syllabic one with eight syllables in each line.

The response to a poem always surprises me… we have so few poets in India, so few publications, so few poetry buyers… and yet, we do respond well on the net.
Thanks for liking the poem, Neha.

Truth is that I had written these lines for some online contest… and then liked them enough to publish them here as my poem. π
