Come along this journey with me
To places where we've never gone
Pack up
Get set
It won't begin riding sailing ships
Nor will we adventure in planes
But still
Fun waits
Get ready for some great trips
Just to journey, with your mind
Thrill ride
Over time
Search the past, seek far away
Find new futures, or old times
Read books
Learn things
Come along this journey with me
To places where we've never gone

Author Notes
Reading Books is like going an a journey. Not Physically, but in your mind.
This poem was inspired by Ritchie, 9999pool. He wrote a Poem, Worlds Apart, that was based on a Trinet by Zion, that was supposed to look like a railroad tracks, or Jpourney. Well that got me thinking. I modified it quite a bit and came up with this. I call the form - Railroad Track Free Verse.
This poem has two stanzas of 8 lines, and an ending couplet that repeats the first two lines.
The word count is either 6 or 2. The syllable count is:
77227722 77227722 77. No rhyming scheme.
You must be careful with word selection to hold the shape.
So, does this look like railroad tracks?
The picture of the tracks is mine.
