We Ventured Out



We could no longer in our four walls stay!

     We longed to see the sun and smell the breeze.

Seemed all around us Nature sang, "Come play!"
     
     We could no longer in our four walls stay!

We ventured out one sunny winter day,

      and to the park we went to see the trees.

We could no longer in our four walls stay,

     while all around us Nature sang, "Come play!"

This is immediately apppealing. You have made perfect use of the Troilet format to convey a simple basic human need. Very well done, PS.

Cabin fever kills, eh? This reminds me of Moly's little Mole House calling to him, in The Wind In the Willows. Odd reversal, but it does. A happy peace that makes me want to breathe deeply of the crisp winter air!

Yes cabin fever! I played around with which line to repeat and found it interesting the different feel it gave the poem.. I tried the “come play” line and liked that but it would have to be a spring poem... Thank you Andrew.
