A Travel Poem For The Girl With Itchy Feet





She lapped

against the shore,

restless like

the sea,

ready

for any adventure,

that blew along her way

– Atticus

A Travel Poem For The One On A Journey. Any Journey.




Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,

   Best Bookstores In The USA
Healthy, free, the world before me,

The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose,

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,




Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,

Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,

Strong and content I travel the open road.

– Walt Whitman, from Song of the Open Road

A Travel Poem That Sums Up Adventure In Four Gorgeous Lines



My heart is warm with the friends I make,

And better friends I’ll not be knowing,

Yet there isn’t a train I wouldn’t take,

No matter where it’s going.

– Edna St. Vincent Millay, from Travel

A Travel Poem From Margaret Atwood Because She Never Disappoints



No, they whisper. You own nothing.

You were a visitor, time after time

climbing the hill, planting the flag, proclaiming.



We never belong to you.

You never found us.

It was always the other way around.

– Margaret Atwood, from The Moment

This Travel Poem Is Just Everything



You are not a tree. You are not bound

to the ground you walk on. You have

wings and dreams and a heart full of

wonder. So pick up your feet and go.

Spread kindness like a wildflower

wherever you go. Fall in love with the

life you live, and always leave people

better than you found them.

– Drewniverses, from Tumblr

This 19th Century Travel Poem Is Just. So. Good.



Half across the world from me

Lie the lands I’ll never see-
I, whose longing lives and dies
Where a ship has sailed away;
I, that never close my eyes
But to look upon Cathay.



Things I may not know nor tell
Wait, where older waters swell;
Ways that flowered at Sappho’s tread,
Winds that sighed in Homer’s strings,
Vibrant with the singing dead,
Golden with the dust of wings.

Under deeper skies than mine,
Quiet valleys dip and shine.
Where their tender grasses heal
Ancient scars of trench and tomb
I shall never walk: nor kneel
Where the bones of poets bloom.

If I seek a lovelier part,
Where I travel goes my heart;
Where I stray my thought must go;
With me wanders my desire.
Best to sit and watch the snow,
Turn the lock, and poke the fire.



– Dorothy Parker, from Hearthside

If Only I Could Swallow This Modern Travel Poem



be insecure

in peace.

allow yourself lowness.

know that it is

only

a

country

on

the way to who you are.

– Nayyirah Waheed, from Traveling

Then, There’s This Transcendent Travel Poem



my eyes will remember

how to love the world

under changing skies.

when the light changes,



so does the view.

– Lindsay O’Connell

And This One



Somedays, I grow tired of life,

and long, for the next great adventure.

– Atticus

Finally, If You’re Waiting To Pack Your Bags And Go…



Twenty years from now

You’ll be more disappointed

By the things you didn’t do

Than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines.

Sail away from the harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore.

Dream.

Discover.

– H. Jackson Brown, from P.S. I Love You (well, sort of. It’s a quote from his mother).

Psychologists Spot a Key Personality Trait That Could Be Shared by All Humble People

-
Psychologists have identified an important trait that could be shared by truly humble people - something called 'hypo-egoic nonentitlement'. That simply means that you don't believe your positive qualities and life achievements entitle you to any kind of special treatment from others That's slightly different to having a tendency to downplay your strengths and your achievements, which you might ordinarily associate with being humble, and it gives us a new insight into the essence of humility. The researchers – psychologists Chloe Banker and Mark Leary from Duke University in North Carolina – note that humility is of "particular interest" because of its links to "an array of desirable psychological and interpersonal outcomes". Just as excessive ego can lead to a variety of personal and social problems (take a look at the world around us). The loose definition and understanding of humility means it's hard to reach a scientific co...

How Fan Fiction Can Transform Student Writing (and Reduce Your Grading)

 Close GEORGE LUCAS EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION Celebrating 30 years MenuSearch LITERACY How Fan Fiction Can Transform Student Writing (and Reduce Your Grading) Fan fiction assignments can help make young readers and writers more passionate, confident, and expressive, while easing your workload. By Meghan Laslocky September 3, 2020 HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN DANIEL RADCLIFFE RGR Collection / Alamy Stock Photo Ideally, writing shouldn’t feel like a chore to students, and grading writing shouldn’t be overwhelming for teachers. An endless stream of essays—and rule-based feedback on grammar, spelling, and punctuation—can have a chilling effect on the motivation of everyone in the classroom. Couple all those rules with topics or assignments a student has no interest in, and you’re likely to get an uninspired, frustrated kid, and a teacher who doesn’t feel up to grading the work. Enter fan fiction, says Ki Sung in a recent MindShift piece titled “How Fan Fiction Inspires Kids to...

18th century must read poems

The Best Eighteenth-Century Poems Everyone Should Read   interestingliterature 50 years ago The eighteenth century was the great Age of Enlightenment, but also Romanticism. The Augustan or neoclassical poetry of Alexander Pope and others eventually gave way to the Romantic meditations of Wordsworth and Coleridge. Below, we introduce ten of the greatest and most emblematic poems of the eighteenth century. We’ve confined ourselves to poems written in the English language here, to make the task even vaguely achievable. Alexander Pope,  The Rape of the Lock .  The neoclassical return to the worlds of ancient Greece and Rome – coupled with a desire for rationalism and order – dominated the first half of the eighteenth century in English verse. And nobody better personified this neoclassical ideal than Alexander Pope (1688-1744), who made his name while still in his early twenties with this mock-heroic satire on the vanity of upper-class society in the early eighte...
