A New Home -- a Poem for Friday Writings

 

    Going Home 

We're going home today 
Luxurious manor 
Patiently yearningly 
Dreamingly going now 

Specially-designed craft 
Happily we're boarded 
Anticipating pair 
Orphans we always thought 

Lush tender green young stocks 
Lush green, pasture-like fields 
Bambo shoots leaves and stalks
Heavenly-like yumminess 

Mysterious China 
Unseen new home awaits

 - Notes:  
 - 1. China has loaned some near extinct giant pandas to the US and various other countries. They have propagated well, the project was a sucess.  The agreements are expiring and the pandas must be returned. The Washington D.C.'s three left for China this Wednesday , November 9.  Only three others in Memphis, Tennessee, remain, scheduled to leave next year.  [Click here to read more]
 - 2. Right after my retirement (2001) during our three week visit to China we visited Chengdu to see the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries [China, Moscow, and the Panama Canal travel items were on my bucket list-you can search my blog for our 2006 Moscow to St. Petersburg River Cruise via Viking Cruises glimpses here]

These Pandas are yet another marvel of creation. How gently we treat some creatures over others.

I also read about the Panda returning to China ... DC's loss. You composed a lovely poem containing the perfect descriptive adjectives/adverbs.

Perhaps they will be better off but I regret having never seen one of these unique animals.
