Yann Rolland Poet Free verse

enjoy walking

Why walk fast,
If we enjoy walking slowly?

Birds are a part of the puzzle,
Intelligence is part of the puzzle,
The trees too,

Walking alone allows you to find other pieces
missing.



Pourquoi marcher vite,
Si on apprécie de marcher lentement ?

Les oiseaux sont une partie du puzzle,
L’intelligence est une partie du puzzle,
Les arbres aussi,

Marcher permet de trouver d’autres pièces
manquantes.

Evelyn Judy Buehler March 7, 2025 at 4:41 PM Your poem wonderfully evokes the joys of a visually pleasing and healthy activity, Yann. Solo walking really is wonderful, too. I enjoyed this a lot.

Deb M March 7, 2025 at 2:33 AM I love the calm relaxed feel of this poem Yann….so much in life is so fast paced so why not keep walking slow and enjoy the environment and our thoughts! Debx Yann Rolland March 7, 2025 at 7:49 AM thanks deb for stopping by and comprehension, i need calm very soon, and walk every morning blessings

Ink Empress March 3, 2025 at 7:34 AM Dear Yann, This is such a calm poem, your poetic voice is so soft and smooth, and i agree sometimes we need to slow down, go with the flow, embrace littl things around us , and sometimes walking alone can give us so many answers. I love how youv written "Birds are a part of the puzzle, Intelligence is part of the puzzle, The trees too," so much depth in that! Pleasure reading you today. Sending you light always Yann Rolland March 7, 2025 at 1:16 AM dear ie, thank you very much for the supportive words, your voice is so precious , have a nice week end

Alesia Leach March 1, 2025 at 5:40 PM Your poem has a gentle, meditative quality, encouraging mindfulness and appreciation for the act of walking. The repetition of "puzzle" as a metaphor for life and discovery is a nice touch--it suggests that by slowing down, we can notice the missing pieces that might otherwise be overlooked. Yann Rolland March 2, 2025 at 11:35 PM thank you so much Alesia for the enlightening comment wish you an happy day

Joe Maverick March 1, 2025 at 1:20 PM After my walk through this, I feel more relaxed Already. As if it was 'long form you end up running to get to the finish.' Good one Yank.' Yann Rolland March 2, 2025 at 11:36 PM thank you so much Joe for the supportive words blessings

Hilda Greenhough March 1, 2025 at 7:33 AM I enjoy this helpful thought, and the French translation. I have learned a new French word; vite must be adverb fast. I think you've inspired me to learn French. I'm also going to get back to walking. Yann Rolland March 1, 2025 at 9:29 AM thank you so much Hilda for the supportive comment,, yes "vite" means "fast", more used in french than "rapide" enjoy your sunday

Akham Nilabirdhwaja Singh February 28, 2025 at 10:04 PM A good exercise to go out together walking slowly. Yann Rolland March 1, 2025 at 3:26 AM Thank you so much, Akham, a pleasure to read your comments have a nice day

Mystic Rose Rose February 28, 2025 at 5:04 PM When you walk too fast you get to miss out on things that you might otherwise have enjoyed through as slow walk. Nice poem. Yann Rolland March 1, 2025 at 3:25 AM thanks Rose for being so supportive, blessings

Ann Peck February 28, 2025 at 1:03 PM I love this! Exactly! We walk slowly because it allows us to think and enjoy. Yann Rolland March 1, 2025 at 3:24 AM thanks Ann, you really read my mind have a nice saturday

Valsa George February 28, 2025 at 3:45 AM Walking is a good exercise. It activates our mind and body. Brisk walking is more advisable than walking slow. Well said, dear Yaan. Yann Rolland February 28, 2025 at 7:25 AM thanks dear valsa for the precious and graceful comment have a sweet week end

Andrea Dietrich February 27, 2025 at 10:15 PM So thoughtful and cute. Yann Rolland February 28, 2025 at 7:26 AM thanks andrea for being supportive enjoy your week end

Anne-Lise Andresen February 27, 2025 at 10:42 AM - I do it every day all year round... (with my two dogs) ... watching and listening to nature :) - hugs Yann Rolland February 28, 2025 at 7:28 AM thanks Anne lise for stopping by and being listening i say hello to your two dogs

Kim Rodrigues February 27, 2025 at 10:31 AM Walking slowly and alone allow one to see and hear the world of birds, trees and other things. I hate when I come across someone wearing earbuds, who cut themselves off from the world. I might have one earbud (rarely) but am always ready to interact. Plus they are missing out on the world around them. JMO! Yann Rolland February 28, 2025 at 7:32 AM o dear Kim, your words are solacing ad comprehensive from the world, i don't wear earbud too, prefer hear birds and trees, your comment is a very clever and supportive one, blessings to you and family
