Woody Forest

Sound of drums beating in my chest

Feeling lonesome and weary having travelled so far

Looking for a place to rest a while

A place where there'll be a cool stream flowing

Maybe a scanty wooden bench with a back rest

I'd love to gaze at the stream.. listen to its gurgling

Maybe I'll close my tired eyes for a while

My senses will guide me to unknown realms

The beating of the drums of stress will gradually cease

I'll have a feeling of peace & tranquility amidst 

The woody forest.. maybe infested with bugs,insects

But surely not as deadly as a killer affliction

Which strike the unfortunate ones on Earth

The bugs'll bite, my limbs'll be swollen & itchy

No insect cream I carried with me on that spring

I became one with nature,I felt calm & serene

My revelry ended in an hour or so...

I was back to my dreary den haunted by bipeds

Inside and out they bite & prick drawing heart-blood

But there is no escape !!! Alas  the calmness I miss !

Blood sucking bipeds!! LOL

 

Bishu I liked the way you explained the imagery of a weary traveler...just wanting to find a place to sit and enjoy nature... to be away from the blood sucking bipeds!! :-)

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I very much enjoyed this, I

I very much enjoyed this, I too would prefer to be in a woodland with insects, rather than struggling through all the bipeds.

Alas !! sweetwater

Alas !! sweetwater.

Desires beckon but sanity is glue

Thank you!! swatter kill the insects

The leeches who suck our ambrosia

Makes us into mere machines only

to be born and die leaving behind

nothing but a handful of stupid words

The world is waiting for the Swatter

For whom only real values matter

 

Thank you so much for reading
