Sharing a poem a month from our poetry book collection.
This month we will be sharing a poem from Travel Journey - Emerald Pool
and the story behind it.
Looking back at this poem, I can't help but smile.
This trip was the one time my husband and I tried backpacking. We went to Hat Yai then to Krabi and lastly to Phuket. If I recalled correctly, we spent three days in Krabi. I was adamant once we reached Krabi to go to Emerald Pool. I heard great things about it and I truly was not disappointed.
The place was so gorgeous. We had such a wonderful time, swimming among the little fishes. Laughing away when the fishes hit our bodies. The water was perfect and it helps cool us from Thailand's hot weather.
I think the real damper for me was trekking through the jungle to get to the Emerald Pool. But I think that is the question of my own fitness more than anything.
I do urge you to go Emerald Pool if you are ever in Krabi and spend the whole day there. It is a great way to destress and cut yourself off from the real world.
