Let's Find Peace in the Woods

Let's find peace in the woods
away from city strife.
Stillness and solitude
for now will serve us well.
With calmness, we will just
unwind and decompress.
Amidst nature, we're blest.

Jeanette Swan Date: 9/18/2025 5:17:00 AM I like the alliterative words that make repeated sounds of calm, especially 'stillness and solitude'. (You may want to edit out the end-of -line rhymes as the prompt was for unrhyming lines). Walking with trees is a fave place for me too.

There is a park just outside the city where we live that has trees, walking trails and wetlands. It is so calming and so therapeutic. We go there two or three times a week on average. Glad you enjoyed the poem. Nice to hear from you again. Cheers from Canada. Jim
