In Solitude I Wander The countryside I roam Like a fox without a den I don’t possess a home. A minstrel on a fiddle Plucking strings, come rain or snow With furry friends a-following To hear this one man show. Little birds cheep out in tune Their tweeting symphony As all of nature comes alive In joyful harmony. The trees bow down their branches As this chorus walks on by They rustle leaves in honour Raising spirits to the sky. 12th October 2020 Completely your choice (25) any form any theme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Brian Strand *

Congratulations on your win! I'm looking at your name and wondering if you are from Manchester England and pine for a once great (but now sadly defunct) Amusement Park (Belle Vue) that had one of the greatest roller coasters the UK ever had. :) Cheers - Gary

Thank you Gary, it’s sad when amusement parks close for whatever reason, I’m not from Manchester, further south in the Midlands, England. Pity about the closing of Belle Vue, to think of riding a roller coaster now is scary to me, but I loved them in my youth. Cheers to you too, Belle

The trees bow down their branches As this chorus walks on by They rustle leaves in honour Raising spirits to the sky... Lovely last stanza, love that imagery.... Another great poem.. I think formatting adds to a poem and you do that well..
