Roy Pett Poet Verse

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.

Paul Callus January 5, 2017 at 1:35 PM 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!
