Poems of Experience (Southern Russia)


A Coach Tour in Southern Russia

I dreamt that I was on a coach tour

We were visiting unnamed towns and unnamed cities

In Southern Russia

I asked why such beautiful places lacked identification

And was told that such beauty need not be named

 

A Coach Tour in Southern Russia

The only sadness of my journey

Is that you are not next to me

To combat my longing

I purchase fruit cakes in each town I visit

 

A Coach Tour in Southern Russia

We often stop at quiet hotels in unnamed towns

After supper I retire to my lonely room

Where you await me in my thoughts

I often dream of you in Southern Russia
