Let's Walk

Let's Walk

Let's walk
that road
with so many
twists and curves,
maybe go down
a side path
or two.

Look! There's a meadow
where, by the brook,
we can dally,
blow dandelion seeds
and make wishes.

Let's not travel
too fast.
Let's not miss
the bright yellow buttercups,
the chickadee's cheerful call
and the sweet wild blackberries.

But let's not linger
at a junction nor
at a dip in the road.
The path with all
the turns and hidden bends,

let's walk.

  1. Gosh, Jack, you write so beautifully. I'msending these to my friend's who know you by what I've said of you and by your other poems
    Thanks for so much beauty. I have been so sad since I came back from Japan because of the beauty I left behind there in all that autumn glory. My Japanese friend in Tokyo just now called me to see how I was doing after my return. I am going to send these to him immediately. He remembers things I tokd him about you and enjoys your poetry and art.
