EXPERIENCE TRAVEL THROUGH POETRY

    

 

TRAVEL

Everybody loves to travel.

Studies have shown that people value their experiences more than material possessions. 

 

There are many reasons why people love to travel:

 Travel can provide a break from life at home and a chance to clear the mind. Travel can be a way to celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or weddings. 

 Traveling can be a way to escape a bad situation, such as a breakup, job loss, or other difficult time. 

 Travel allows people to be spontaneous and do what they want. 

 Travel can improve mental health by helping people feel calm and releasing stress. 

 

Time, place, mode of transport, company, and many other things depend on the individual’s choice and circumstances.

Here is a travel on a caravan; Read along and you too will travel with him

I wish I lived in a caravan,
With a horse to drive, like the pedlar man!
Where he comes from nobody knows,
Or where he goes to, but on he goes!

His caravan has windows, two,
And a chimney of tin, that the smoke comes through;
He has a wife, with a baby brown,
And they go riding from town to town!

"Chairs to mend and delf to sell!"
He clashes the basins like a bell;
Tea-trays, baskets, ranged in order,
Plates with the alphabet round the border!

The roads are brown and the sea is green,
But his house is just like a bathing machine;
The world is round and he can ride,
Rumble and splash to the other side!

With the pedlar-man I should like to roam,
And write a book when I came home;
All the people would read my book,
Just like the Travels of Captain Cook!

 

This poem THE PEDDLER’S CARAVAN was written by William Brighty Rands. The poet describes the speaker's longing to live the life of a pedlar man on the road. The short poem uses rhymed couplets and detail-rich imagery to capture the excitement of the peddler's traveling caravan. The poet wants to roam with the pedlar man because he wants to travel from one town to another to see and experience a lot of things.
