Sunday Muse -- Another Journey
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
Cuando Cubango;
Angola
Angola
Never been to Angola
Gonna go there now
I've tired of Durban
Enough is enough
Going to Angola now
Long way to Capetown
Across Africa I'll drive
Looks paved all the way
Never been to Angola
Maps, trusty GPS
Got a new Navigator
Knows just where to go

Barefoot gal hitchhiking there
Classmate reminded
Barefoot, cutoffs too, so smart
Barefoot gal she was my pal
Differential equations
Solving them so well
Though we can't relive our past
That we can in our minds
Angola's a long way off
Before we arrive
Lots can happen on our path
New friendship we could make

- Although I've labeled this as Fiction much of it was "my life" including being in Africa twice and not yet visiting Angola. The Barefoot classmate was also true but I never have had a female hitchhiker without Mrs Jim with me.

This was very beautiful Jim. Like the photos also. Thank you for sharing.
Give my best wishes to your both and may the freshly ironed New Year bring you what you expect from it. But also that it may be filled with creativity around you. And that you both will enjoy the simple and everything that will warm your heart.
An imagined adventure! It's great to remember the headspace of just getting in the car and going somewhere.
The best memories … old photos … the things that birth poems. Aging does come with benefits. Happy 2022 to You.
Wonderful memories woven into a poem! Love the photos Jim! Happy New Year!
Thanks for taking us along, Jim! Enjoyed the journey.
Thanks for the African tour, Jim! Can always count on you to take us away.
