POEM: Vermont Voyage

August 22, 2013 · Scotorum

This was created for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge. Our theme this week is unfulfilled summer dreams.

Mine was on one unsuccessful attempt to fulfill one which nonetheless resulted in many good memories.

VERMONT VOYAGE

The weekend past did briefly last
though while it did it was a blast
A trip along the wide river’s blue
on train from nineteen-thirty-two.

A stop at farm for a light lunch
local cheddar with crackers crunch
Back to the train for the return
with added picnic light sunburn

Up through the hills of old Vermont
to the fountain in the font
flowing free with barley’s wort
but coming up quite a bit short.

Except for samples at The Pig
Three halves to sip or quickly swig
with brisket, shoestrings, peel and eat
a Prohibitionistic treat.

Up to the brewers’ model store
Heady disappoinbtments sore.
Still a treasure to secure
from the Alchemist’s sure lure,

The long drive home was all downhill
with memories providing fill
inside mind of our questing one
from weekend day chock full of fun.
