I like to take day hikes out in nature under a blue sky among the shades of green and I need very little water a snack a camera a diary to write I like to go in spring when all is new in summer when it is hot and sunny oh but fall is the best with all the burnt orange and rust even the decay is beautiful winter all bundled up is nice too oh I forgot I bring bird seed for my friends the birds so you see I need very little I travel light for all I need really is within me and before me and beneath my feet _________________ September 27, 2017 Free Verse/Me and My Backpack Copyright Protected, ID 17- 9451-48-0 All Rights Reserved.

Well done, Broken Wings, I was not much of a hiker, but when classes went on on hikes it was very light and it was glorious. Perfect write and form... luck in the contest Hugs Eve ~`*

Nicely penned and smooth read. "for all I need really is within me and before me and beneath my feet." My backpack is my man purse.

This is such a beautiful write my friend! You have captured the essence of what it's like to take a nature hike within nature, and to travel lightly would be the best way to go! I really enjoyed reading your amazing poem this fine day! What a stupendous piece, Great Work!!
