Notes About The Poem

Casual Strolling

It's my favorite hobby because...

I pay more attention to my immediate surroundings
Than I do when jogging. It's my idea of felicity. Its as
Though I'm a detective investigating and uncovering 
New things during a casual stroll

The experience is always a wonderful one
I absolutely love the sights and sounds of the outdoors
What's not to love about it?  I especially love the chirping 
Of the birds.  It gives me immense gratification...

Not to mention, the warmth of the sun on my face
The gentle breeze, leaves chattering in whispers;  all a 
Treat to behold!  Even seemingly inconsequential sounds
Such as cars whizzing by on a busy road; so welcoming!

Strolling is a balm to the spirit!
