Notes About The Poem

(Entry for the Let's Soar With This Poetry Contest, sponsored by Nette Onclaud, submitted September 17, 2025)

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.

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. J :)

My wife and I love to go for walks in places where there are lots of trees. 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
