Deb M Poet Rhyme

-The Rambler

His soul alive when he rambled
Hours and hours upon end
Being alone with mother nature
His one and only true friend

Confined, suffocated between four walls
He needed to roam free
Through the mountainous hills and countryside
Of wildlife, rivers and trees

He was a loner by choice
A rambling spirit since a child
Innate to his whole being
His heart and home the wild

The local folk called him “The Rambler”
As no-one knew him or his name
Sometimes at dusk high on a hill 
A distant silhouette is seen rambling the rugged terrain

Gershon Wolf November 16, 2023 at 11:10 PM I imagine the silhouette looks like an American car, the 'Rambler,' which went extinct about 1980 or so. ~ Little 'Nash- Rambler'

Terry Flood November 10, 2023 at 5:20 PM I think you just wrote ME, Deb. Not that I don’t like company, but, sometimes, just sometimes (OFTEN) being alone under the sky is quite simply, liberating.

The Situation November 7, 2023 at 6:40 PM In todays world he would be arrested. But to write about him is the same as writing about a flower or a bird or a day. and this captures this. Deb M November 8, 2023 at 12:17 AM Hi TS….thankyou so much! Debx

Joseph P. DiMino November 7, 2023 at 3:28 PM Lovely tale and ode. Well told. I'm certain every high cloud, bubbling brook, deer and bear forgave his rambling presence -- for he did no harm, loving his whistling presence. Especially the birds liked him:) Blessings my friend. Deb M November 7, 2023 at 3:55 PM He's Just one with nature Joe! Thanks Debx

Ha….thankyou sweet Karen….Debx

Tom Cunningham November 7, 2023 at 12:37 AM I used to love rambling but not so much now, being in vast open spaces you can't beat, it lifts the soul and clears your mind. Well written Deb. Tom Deb M November 7, 2023 at 12:42 PM I can imagine you as a rambler Tom as you travel so much! It truly does lift the soul and clear the mind! Cheers Marmite Man! Debx

I love the way this flows and also how you’ve written “ Sometimes at dusk high on a hill A distant silhouette is seen rambling the rugged terrain” brilliant imagery so descriptive about this loner who longs to be free.
