Gregory Richard Barden Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Wander-Full

Wide, this grand world, with occurrences, rife

On the foam-capped blue, for a seafarer's life

Rich, the adventurer's sojourns shall be ...

Launching deep dreams on a mutable sea.

Daring, the soul who can take to the sky


Cast off the weights of this marble and fly

Rending mundane for the magic of travel

Undreamt-of mysteries await to unravel.

In sky or on rail, on surface or sea ...

Savor the journey and all it should be

Enjoy, as scores don't, the gift ... to be FREE!
