A Walk on The Moon

I'm not much of a poet, but here is one I wrote about travel for one of my advanced poetry classes. :) enjoy.. Tell me what you think. Comment below. I can't believe I'm putting this up here. lol

A Walk on The Moon
By: David Iba

Walking takes more than feet. You need legs attached to those feet.
Well, mine do.
Seeing takes more than eyes. You need glasses to see
Well, I do

People, They need more than food to survive
I bet you I could live off of Top Ramen for months
And I have

They also need adventure
Well, I do
I could walk the path to everywhere all day

If I could meet the people of the moon
I would
But it takes more than money

A mother of two in a train station once asked me where
I was going and where I had been

Memories of the sun dripping
onto the beach in Australia were vivid
a slip n side glacier in Argentina still made me shiver
and a stalactite the shape of a castle in Ireland came to mind

“The Moon” I said

I proved it by showing her my pack

She put it on and felt the weight of Tibet
stained her shirt with Brazilian dirt
and sand from a French beach sprinkled her shoes.

“The Moon must be nice this time of year”
She said with the pack still on

“It takes more than money” I said
“It takes legs on your feet
and glasses to see”
Well, for me it does
