When you feel stressed and things are awry You feel you could scream and your blood pressures high Get out of the city, go for a ride. Take the train out to the countryside. Fields full of corn see how they glow Countryside farmers reap what they sow Wonder the woods see the trees green Cast your eyes round, there’s lots to be seen Stroll by a lake,dip your toes in If you feel daring go up to your shin Don’t be afraid to leave bustle behind A walk in the country will help you unwind

Dear Margaret, beautifully said! I enjoyed the rhythmic flow and imagery of your wonderful poem. I love to "leave bustle behind". Great advise to stay 'mindful'. Congratulations for your success in Brian's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Sounds delightful...it brings back a 40 year old memory of driving through corn fields in rural Illinois.

Thank you David. I was born and raised in the countryside. I think it’s in my bones. lol
