Traveling is how people,
earn and spend,
relax and learn,
discover and loose,
remember and forget,
aid and violate,
laugh and stress.
Traveling is how people,
experience.
This poem is clearly a list poem. I coupled contradicting ideas to express the large array of experiences one can have when traveling. I connected the two contradicting ideas with the word and to separate them and make their connection more clear. Also I believe the addition of the word and adds flow to the poem when being read outloud. One line that I would like to explain furthur is Line 6: "aid and violate". Travel is how people aid when they go to foriegn countires to help people in poverty. Travel is how people violate when they go to countries and expose national landmarks, or ruin natural places of beauty. This poem is full of contrast and I think it displays many aspects of traveling.
