Free To Meander

Unhampered by daunting perfection Not given to much introspection Contented with idle reflection I wander in aimless direction. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Contest: Form 'M' Monorhyme Sponsor: Broken Wings Placed 4th © 17th April, 2017

Paul, we all need a 'day off' once in awhile to let the mind, body, spirit relax, go with the flow and free the mind to wander... a wonderful Monorhyme that 'meanders' gently and beautifully through the readers mind.. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan
