Comment from Nebuli

Excellent

This is poem resonates with me. I don't know if it was your intention to allude to the nature of life as well as travel in general but that's what I got from this poem. I like your use of punctuation. Especially in a one line poem, i think that punctuation can make things too formal but this is executed perfectly. Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks, Nebuli. You are one of the rare reviewers who wanted to interpret this beyond the literal level. Perhaps I was too subtle.

For the record, my real intention when I said 'no destination' was to convey that I don't believe in any kind of afterlife! My inner peace comes from not having to worry about where I might end up!

I really admired the sentiment in this one line poem! I wish I could live like this. When you are at peace, any destination is the right one. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

I often wonder about people who get on the road with no destination in mind. I have a couple of friends who do that but wherever there travels take them they have come back. I don't think I am cut out for that (not at peace with myself?) but I envy those who can do that. Thanks for sharing, and best for the contest.

Great one line poem. This is reflective of how many people feel and yet are afraid to try. I hope many can find the peace that this poem inspires. Great pic as well

With a one line poem there is so much left for interpretation. This is a brilliant way to convey your thinking. Some would be offended by this, not me, I agree. This has given me another way to look at this poem. I was thinking in the more literal sense of global travel. Well done.

a great one-line poem about life and the journey we all face along the way, I like the juxtaposition of find inner peace, and traveling with no real destination the journey continues good images

You didn't take that extra step as some have done to apply this to the journey of life...

I like this philosophy so much that I suggested something similar for the name of my daughter's biodynamic food forest. Coddiwomple: "to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination". May the judges judge your journey favourably!

And did she take you up on the suggestion. I see a possible defect, that people may confuse it with Cockwomble - A person, usually male, prone to making outrageously stupid statements and/or inappropriate behavior while generally having a very high opinion of his own wisdom and importance. INo prizes for guessing the prime example!)

Anyway thanks for the review and the new word. I shall continue my journey.
