Hi Tony, this is a very cheerful write, from the picture to the rhyme of omnibus/us. I think the word economy and message is great: the more the merrier in life. Best of luck in the contest.

Tony, good to read from you on my dawdle back in.
Funny enough, I have sat on that very bus...not far from me. It is an East London route.
Good to see you still here.
Have a great day.
RG

What a delightful poem, in so few words. The image is great and really complements your words. I love that everyone is welcome. A bus is a great metaphor for life (although I think that is simile). Great job and good luck in the contest!

I love to travel but I fear my wandering days are over. In any event, I would love to cross the pond and experience riding on one of these wonderful buses. :-) Best wishes, Tony.

Great poem not easy to write in 20 syllables, well thought out and effective.
I like the idea that we are all travelling together in life.
Thank you for sharing
good luck in the competition

The joy of your photo is that I have rode on that vehicle.

You did a good job in describing what life should be for your contest entry.

Mark

This work has reached the exceptional level

An upbeat poem with a great message. I love the fact you call it a "transport", which implies an embarkation and a departure. But the bit that needs to occupy our focus is the journey. I think the contest is over, so it's probably too late to say "good luck", so instead I'll just say "well done".

    Thanks for your review of this micro-poem, Craig. Good of you to drop by. I have to admit that the 'Transport of Delight' was an echo of the famous song of the same name by Flanders and Swann. It might amuse you if you don't already know it. All the best, Tony

Life is a journey that's for sure. A lot of ups and downs, bumps and hills along the way. That's what makes it such an adventure. Your poem is well-written, interesting, uplifting. I love your artwork.
