Transport of Choice
It is said that to travel is to learn, to grow inside through experience. While admitting to the truth in this, it does appear my travels have lead me far afield from where I’d originally meant to go. Funny that.
The various turns in the road, chosen by my own volition, seemed the right ones to take at the time, in retrospect I’m doubtful of this. Therefore, there have been those lessons learned in my travels which have been painful. This having been said, I will now say that my favorite mode of transportation is and always has been – my mind.
Fueled by the wonderful power of imagination, I have traveled to any place and every place wished for – to visit. Imagination, my vehicle of choice and while some may laugh at this mode of transport, I find this particular vehicle ready to depart at a moments notice to the far reaches of my desires, and I … I am most content with this.

Just simply had to throw in one of Disney’s beloved characters in my haiku. I adore *Buzz Lightyear and his wonderful outlook on life, cartoon character though he may be. I hope you enjoyed my Haibun.
It is a pleasure to see Haibun Thinking Writing Challenge up and active once again. Welcome back. The challenge this week is “Film Week”. Write Haibun style using the following quote or a photo as a prompt. As you can see, I chose the quote:
“You came here in that thing?
You’re braver than I thought.”
~ Carrie Fisher (Star Wars)

AnElephantCant resist asking this question
He hopes it does not cause sweet Penny undue consternation
If her mind’s eye
Allows her to fly
Why does she not visit him in France in her imagination?
On my way!!!!!!!!!!! xo
AnElephantCant hide his excitement
He must prepare a gallon of sun tan lotion
Sweet Penny is fair
Like her golden hair
He cannot wait to welcome her here on the sunny side of the great ocean
😀 Sounds tanfastic!
What a wonderful take on the film prompt Penny and love your illustration. I’m so happy too that Haibun Thinking has returned … nice way to meet up with old friends again!
Thank you Bastet and I do agree with you completely about the return of Haibun and old friends as well!
🙂
Anywhere I’d like it to go Yoshiko. Beautiful gardens. The wilderness (I love nature very much) by an ocean and sometimes into a totally fantasy world! 🙂
I love this. A great way of travelling, one of the best. You can do anything and go anywhere, any time any place, be anyone.
Yes, as in the sci-fi book and movie Recall…recall…recall, lol!
LOL.
Where does imagination transport you to, Penny?
