Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Backroads

Gathering wild strawberries 
And meadow flowers

Exploring footpaths
Running along streams
And climbing trees

Chasing butterflies
Spotting nests
Petting furry caterpillars 
And cuddling kitty cats

Life explodes with wonder
Meandering backroads of my mind
Unadulterated freedom of adventure
Nature the way a child remembers
