A Country Walk
I’ve been on a country walk
And haven’t left my chair
All because I read a poem
Which placed me right there
Where she stood in the meadow
Amid dandelions and daffodils,
And I heard the birds chattering
Recounting their daily thrills.
I sensed the freshness of spring,
A special sweetness filled the air
As I strolled steadily along,
It was like really being there!
Seeing the sights she saw
Feeling the feelings she felt
Made my heart leap for joy,
All gloomy thoughts did melt.
So, if you feel like a walk
In the verdant countryside
Then peruse a poem like me
And on the air you’ll glide.
Those worries of your day
Well, we know they’ll still be there
But for now enjoy the peacefulness
By taking a country walk in your chair.

Down the road
I walked following your footsteps that you left. What a wonderful day dream to take. Not many poets Paul can write "what they see such that the reader see's it also"
You seem to have just that ability. Thanks Paul for sharing this, I needed to get out of my office for awhile :)

the power of the poet
to transport us to where they were, is a marvellous thing, especially if that place invigorates us and makes the day all the more worthwhile -
Thanks, Ron, for the high praise. :-)
It's like magic
to read a poem and the words bring life and color and wonder. You do that quite often Paul, I always enjoy reading what you write. raskin
It does feel good to be
It does feel good to be taken away from everyday problems without really having to go far. That's why I love poetry, well literature in general, it can always take you to another time and place.
