Victor Buhagiar Poet Free verse

A Delightful Hike

The high hills hummed in praise of their Creator,
As we recklessly rushed down all the rough rocks,
Careful not to tumble down the treacherous
Uneven paths that led to the vast valley.

Here and there were fruitful farms, corn growing tall.
Whilst a cacophony of crows, hens and geese
Filled the air contrasting with passeri and larks,
Practicing their mellow melodious songs.

We found a tavern, delicious spicy food
That soon greeted us as we entered and met
The few travellers that revelled in that place
Which was so warm that we ate our fill with grace.

We marked the superb place on our tattered maps,
Sure to visit the homely tavern again.

FICTION  (there are no real hills in Malta)

Maria Fernandez-Garcia August 4, 2024 at 2:04 PM It sounds nice hiking, maybe it would be nice to have a nice Maltese food there with a nice wine in the mentioned tabern. Nice story to make me travel with all my senses.

Andrea Dietrich August 4, 2024 at 12:09 PM The tavern with good food would be my only reason for that hike. Haha

Joseph P. DiMino August 3, 2024 at 11:40 AM Well, fiction I could not tell, brilliantly, poetically vivid. "Whilst a cacophony of crows, hens and geese" -- wonderful imagery!

Ink Empress August 3, 2024 at 7:57 AM Ah we also dont have hills in maldives. Hah. this is so very well written dear victor. I love the alliterations and depth of what you’ve conveyed here, especially the opening lines are brilliant! I saw through your words the hike that youv describe in so detail. Iv never expected that but sometimes we experience things through well written poems like yours. Pleasure reading this. Sounds lovely and beautiful

Tom Cunningham August 3, 2024 at 7:28 AM My kind of hike Victor, and to end it with a meal is pure heaven. Tom

Valsa George August 3, 2024 at 6:46 AM .... but you write as if it is your real life experience. The tavern you visited sounds so very exotic that I feel like visiting it. A beautiful poem dear Victor.

I'm certain that Malta had many rest-filled nights thereafter :)
