Depends Where You've Been

   The world is a wonderful place
     said he, with an awestruck face

   Meadow, brook, hill and dale
     explored them all, fresh from jail

Interesting couplet. Though I like beautiful landscapes, I can't relate to jail. Nice job

Very well said. I hear that can be rough for inmates to adjust to the world after being released from prison. I wish all of the could approach it with as much joy as the person in your poem.
