Oh to be able to contribute the perfect haiku.
The pilgrim movesOh to be able to contribute the perfect haiku.
Really like this. You've ignored the formal rules but captured the essence.The pilgrim moves
Lying still
And wakes the dust from his shoes
Lord, give me a blister!
Round and big, right on my heel.
Lord, give me a blister,
full of puss and blood would be ideal.
Lord, I want the rain,
the kind that pours and never stops.
Maybe frozen, mist, and sleet?
Or even snow, if it's not too much.
Lord, make that sun hot!
And leave it there to stay.
Let's have it be 90 in the shade,
and make sure no clouds get in the way!
Lord, give me a top bunk!
I pray you this request!
Itchy blankets and lumpy pillows,
make sure I get no rest!
Lord, give me one who snores,
loud enough to wake the dead!
Let the pilgrim roar like thunder,
and make sure it never ends!
Lord, how about meal?
Make sure it costs a lot!
Over-cooked meat and under-done soup,
all cooked in a dirty pot.
Lord, I'll take a drink,
nine euros for a beer!
What brand? It doesn't matter,
they only serve one kind here!
Lord, how about a hill?
Have it rise and never stop.
And make the path extra steep,
so I never reach the top.
Lord, I'll need some people,
none who speak my tongue.
It's imperative I talk to them,
but we'll never get it done.
Lord, give me a give me a tourist,
so I can mock his efforts to arrive.
Because I was stupid enough to walk,
while he was smart enough to drive!
Lord, give me the Camino
and I promise I won't complain.
Let me enjoy ALL that you give me,
I will gladly bear these pains.
Lord, give me the Camino
My boots, my stick, my pack.
That's all I need, Father.
Please, just let me go back.
Jeffnd is this AMAZING! Would you mind if I shared this on our Facebook page and potentially our blog? (The documentary "Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago" aka "The Camino Documentary" >> https://www.facebook.com/TheCaminoDocumentary // caminodocumentary.org/blog
Thanks peregrino, for sharing!
¡Buen Camino!
