Notes About The Poem

Nature's Lilypond Walks

We wander for form, but at a snail's pace We grasp pure air and feel the hills fully We find joy walking to our desired place By gazing, we might parse where fine sprouts face We watch strange birds rippling wide and hardly We wander for form, but at a snail's pace Consider swans paddling for always bass Thank God for the path; we will not worry We find joy walking to our desired place And hence we step close by huffy crow place It cannot find dwarf worms that fade quickly We wander for form, but at a snail's pace For me; these tarns we would not sacrifice Deft earth is a wonder of awe beauty We find joy walking to our desired place Such ambling in the sad years will witness That behavior ought to yield life, held steady We wander for form, but at a snail's pace We find joy walking to our desired place

Beautiful picture and poem, Sotto. As we age, we do slow down and walk or wander at a different pace. We also tend to enjoy our walks more than when we were young and in such a hurry when didn't see the joy and beauty all around us. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, Bill

Much joy emanates from your poem, Lasaad. I like the rhythms of the two repeating lines. Well composed.

Soto, I must admit to loving classic, elegant poetry. You have penned such here. I walked along in your imagery with you and witnessed the birds, the Lillie’s, the tall shore stalks, the colors and reflections in the water. Thank you for this, for opening my imagination before I go to sleep. Peace…
