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)

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.

A wonderful journey you painted, so full of imagery. I enjoyed every step of the way from the birds singing to the rocky precarious climb to the tavern serving delicious spicy food. A fave for sure. Hugs dear Victor

Well, fiction I could not tell, brilliantly, poetically vivid. "Whilst a cacophony of crows, hens and geese" -- wonderful imagery!

.... 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.

Writers are always fishing with their raw and reads casting empty lines and verses with attached dreams on a hook delving into a pool of imaginative depths of a whole new world, then reflect their visions on paper for fellow countrymen & women for mindful abide. I'm certain that Malta had many rest-filled nights thereafter :)
