Vacay: A Poem

What does vacation feel like? Well, let me tell you.

Picture this: it’s like that triumphant moment when you finally find the exit at the end of a sprawling corn maze – pure relief and achievement rolled into one. Imagine spotting a heart-shaped cloud in the sky, that warm fuzziness that makes you smile. Think of those carefree days when you’re weaving friendship bracelets. Vacation’s that sensation of an unmanned ship sailing smoothly into retirement’s calm waters, and yeah, maybe an extra scoop of that sweet ice cream goodness.

It’s rocking an untucked t-shirt, letting your shoelaces dangle without a care, and throwing your hair into a gloriously messy bun. It’s a beautiful mess, a harmonious chaos, a blend of giggles and maybe a sprinkle of tears. So, next time someone asks what vacation feels like, just remember: it’s a cocktail of the extraordinary and the mundane, the peak and the valley, the best of us and a touch of the not-so-best, all swirled together into a perfect, messy masterpiece.

Love, Jaclynn
