Notes About The Poem

Into the Woods

I go into the woods to find my inner peace, since a little girl this is my own special place; my emotions held- in the woods I can release, each tree and each flower my spirit does embrace. Since a little girl this is my own special place, as I walk along I let my mind just wander; each tree and each flower my spirit does embrace, yes, I meander for long hours and ponder. As I walk along I let my mind just wander, I love each bird twittering- each creature within; yes, I . . . meander for long hours and ponder, and each sweet thing growing wild and free makes me grin. I love the birds twittering- each creature within, in winter there is a tranquility to find; and each sweet thing growing wild and free makes me grin, oh, love when the trees with snow and ice are entwined. In winter there is a tranquility to find, my emotions held- in the woods I can release; oh, love when the trees with snow and ice are entwined, I go into the woods to find my inner peace. _________________________________ January 7, 2019 Poetry/Pantoum/Rhyme/Into The Night Copyright Protected, ID 19-1101-866-02 All Rights Reserved.

Constance, belated congrats on the POTD! I love the way you repeat the 2nd and 4th lines of each stanza in the 1st and 3rd lines of the next stanza. That -and the ellipsis in the 3rd stanza- brings a meditative quality to the rhyme. Brilliant! ~Mark

Mark, thanks for visiting, the poem is actually written in Pantoum, which has repeating lines but had to post as a rhyme because the contest asked for rhyme, but PANTOUM is a rhyme form so hopefully Silent will accept that and thanks for for the congratulations on my POTD.
