The Walk Loop Poetry

The walk. ( Loop poetry ) As I walk down country lanes Lanes of life that wind and turn Turn memories into dreams Dreams of love without concern, Green fields laid with low hedges Hedges homes of natures wildlife Wildlife giving sense to existence Existence enabling day, nightlife, Thoughts of abundant fruit trees Trees of elegance tall and proud Proud of our abilities, achievements Achievements with a positive shroud, Our willingness to give or receive Receive thoughts of happiness Happiness our greatest emotion Emotion that gives us hopefulness, At the end of this lane of life Life becomes understandable Understandable and relevant Relevant making life sustainable.

I'm impressed by this 'looped' poem, Roy! To accommodate the rules of this form one could easily lose his poetic deliverance, but you definitely got it right! Regards // paul
