Ann Peck Poet Free verse

Wistful Wayfarer

A peaceful path some may call a rough road,
In succulent scents--they feel a forebode.
Me--I'm only a drowsy dreamer
pitching pebbles at all troubling times.
Searching skies for lovely rainbows,
climbing clouds above mountaintops.
A wistful wayfarer finding my way

L Milton Hankins December 15, 2021 at 7:32 PM Exceptionally fine writing, Ann. I wish you the very best in the contest. L Milton Hankins December 16, 2021 at 9:28 AM I found this format exceptionally challenging, too. You did great. Ann Peck December 16, 2021 at 6:07 AM Thank you, Milton! To me, it was a difficult contest because of the various syllable restrictions. A challenge :)
