OPPOSING ACRE

OPPOSING ACRE Well, is it better to travel than arrive Getting there doesn’t mean you rest As that is when exploring starts again To return here, nobody knows when Stand on the walls and beat your chest Such adventures make you feel alive Arriving safely means you do survive Maybe lose a shirt but keep your vest No more travelling, just count to ten Stay in this spot like all satisfied men No need to undertake any other test For yet more glory, let others strive

I liked the 'opposition' in your poem. The contrast of exploration and adventure with staying still...being satisfied...trc I sense there's no glory in 'being safe & satisfied' to which I agree. Have a great evening, Sara
