Agnes Krampe Poet Free verse

Therapy

As I walk in the woods, 
the worries
melt 
   off 
     my 
         shoulders.
My jaw softens.
My hands
unclench,
unfurl
like the wings 
of the wild geese
that beat the wind.

Probir Gupta March 12, 2018 at 6:09 AM You show us how to collect the poems from the wings of the wild geese beating the wind ... not satisfied with the geese only ...the inevitable 'wild' reinforces the truth ... what a beauty ... Agnes Krampe March 12, 2018 at 6:36 AM Thank you for your kind words, Probir.

Jan Allison March 11, 2018 at 6:40 PM I can relate so much Agnes, your imagery is perfect to depict the release of stress at being at one with nature:-) hugs Jan xx Agnes Krampe March 11, 2018 at 6:47 PM Thank you, Jan. It was so wonderful to be able to hike yesterday, after a week of stress.

Viv Wigley March 11, 2018 at 12:06 PM Indeedy, Agnes, I regularly take a route to town that takes me half an hour longer, just to get away from traffic, and it improves my mood immeasurably. I shall accompany you in my mind. Viv x Agnes Krampe March 11, 2018 at 12:08 PM I'll be glad for the company, Viv. Thanks for stopping by.

Dale Gregory Cozart March 11, 2018 at 11:46 AM This is beautiful. The way you depicted the worries melting off your shoulders is very clever. Agnes Krampe March 11, 2018 at 12:07 PM Thank you, Dale. It really felt like that in the moment.

Lunita Blanca March 11, 2018 at 10:41 AM Yes Agnes, nature has a way of saying to us: There is more to life as long as we listen to ourselves. Agnes Krampe March 11, 2018 at 11:23 AM Thank you for your visit, Carlos. Yes, you are right.

Elizabeth Kinch March 11, 2018 at 10:15 AM A walk in the woods is the best type of therapy. Looking forward to long spring walks when the woods really come alive again. Agnes Krampe March 11, 2018 at 11:21 AM Thank you for your visit, Elizabeth.
