Portrait as a Journey

Computer mouse clicks through Fablehaven’s tales

At 7:37 pm in fall’s embrace,

Warm and overcast, October’s face.

Through Providence, a Toyota Prius rides,

Along the roads where oceans meet the tides. 

A taste of Tamarindo remains still,

Salted caramel drizzled sands; littered boatbills--

Camera in hand at UCLA,

Chasing dolphins where Neptune throws his weight.

A Tangerine horizon lights the way, 

Industrial revolution thoughts at bay.

Oregano scents mix with steak’s delight,

A lone sock rests in the dimming light. 

Lids open, Earth rotates, 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W, “Where Next?”
