Backward Poems - Poems about Backward

Together we march, against the tides we...

There I stood...bundled up in layers of clothing... to begin my journey. As I began to walk down my path...I took off my overcoat... as I discovered the sun kept me warm enough. As I continued down my path...I discovered I no longer needed my hat... as the breeze felt...
