Traveling to places unknown
I depart the station
Going solo though not alone
Bumps and curves thrown
Quite an education
Traveling to places unknown
Various skills I hone
Gradational transformation
Going solo though not alone
From time zone to time zone
Each stop a celebration
Traveling to places unknown
Love and kindness shown
Intercultural communication
Going solo though not alone
Autonomy I own
A sense of liberation
Traveling to places unknown
Going solo though not alone
W3 Prompt #139: Wea’ve Written Weekly poet of the week, Punam, prompts us to write a Villanelle that includes the word ‘celebration’.
Sadje’s What do you see # 268

A flawless blending of two prompts 👏👏👏

I love your poem. I’m a fan of the villanelle, too. I just read your poems in the Sunflower Tanka, and I fell in love with one of them. I’m quoting part of it on my blog this week. I’m linking it to this post so you can find me. 🙂
