Often enough I will be going to a new place. Everytime a brand new poem with a fresh stamp will be put in my suitcase.

Free Verse: World Wonders

Intro: This free verse is based on the seven wonders of the world (meaning SEVEN verses in my poem). I'm sorry if these may not be the most recent wonders but they still left a mark on our world.

World Wonders

Seven wonders in one world.
There's not enough time
To experience their beauty and history.

Chichen Itza
Located in Magnificent Mexico.
Stands tall and mighty,
Tickling the clouds at the top.
Hundreds of stairs
Leading to a whole other world.
The religious center of Mexican history.
It's ancient yet you learn something new about it.

Christ the Redeemer
Located in Brilliant Brazil.
Waiting for the whole world with open arms.
Greeting me as I stand under it
Like an ant to a tree.
The most important monument of the Catholic religion
He looks over the city of Rio,
Protecting them from harms way
And steering choices in the right direction.

Great Wall of China
Located in Charming China.
Cherry blossoms dangle over the edge
Swaying in the gentle breeze.
One of the most unique human creations.
As far as the eye can see
Breaking records at 6700 kilometres.
Running across the country
One brick at a time.

Mahcu Picchu
Located in Peaceful Peru.
An ancient village with many stories
Waiting to be told.
Sitting on the peak of a mighty mountain.
Being admired from far and wide.
The old buildings crumble
But are still famous around the world.
This Inca City is a true wonder.

Petra
Located in Joyful Jordan.
Giant red mountains
Are carved in to art.
I'm in awe when I see the extensive mausoleums.
A tomb to honour those who died.
They stretch out for miles
Being admired from near and far.
One of the world's greatest wonders
Made by Nature and Man.

Roman Colosseum
Located in Ravishing Rome.
So ancient
So beautiful.
I am officially standing in the most famous stadium!
Where  famous battles were held
Based on the dramatic, yet classic, mythology.
Gladiators fighting to the death
And mock sea battles.
This is why I came to Rome.
To see this piece of history.
One of the world's greatest works of Roman architecture.

Taj Mahal
Located in Intimate India.
It sits majestically upon a hill.
A castle fit for a king
Is what I thought when I saw it.
With its white marble exterior
And golden interior.
Wow!
It truly is a magnificent monument that reflects
An immense love.
