My Wanderlust Poem by Valsa George

My Wanderlust

Rating: 4.8


At times I wander far….
Far away from all human habitats
Away from all prying eyes
Following the bent
Of my vagrant inclination;
Into Nature’s sylvan pockets
To places studded with trees
To the tranquil bosom of the woods
Or
Onto the heights of bald headed hills
Where shrubs struggle to strike root
From the cleft of rocks and ledges
Where in hollows, wild bushes grow in clusters

To watch the shreds of hovering mist
To gaze upon piles of sailing clouds
To shout loud and whistle long
And to listen to the hills
Mimicking my own sound

There I will hop and jump,
Like a sprightly forest fawn,
As I don’t fear
Either the silently gliding streams,
Or the clump of swaying trees,
The host of wild flowers,
Or the monstrous mossy rocks,
Either the birds or the beasts

Never will they watch my cranky pranks
And call me a loony
As here my own men might do!

Escape and dance and in natures court be a carefree girl and you may live forever more.

Hi Valsa, I am taking this poem as an article for my own learning. This is what I use to say a poem which has rhythm in it. its very difficult to attempt like this as most of them end in failures and homicide of poetry itself. This is one of that kind which has succeeded in it. I respect you! | Delete this message

It helps a lot to wander around aimlessly to get de-stressed by simply watching the wonderful creations of HIS art. A beautiful poem to read.

Yes madam, it is really a beautiful poem with heart touching description. My favorite lines are as follows. To watch the shreds of hovering mist To gaze upon piles of sailing clouds To shout loud and whistle long And to listen to the hills Mimicking my own sound There I will hop and jump, Like a sprightly forest fawn, Thanks for sharing.
