When In Doubt Retreat To The Countryside (July 2019)

Rating: 5.0


I've got my St. Christopher pendant by my side,
As I travel across this open countryside.
O these craggy, winding roads can be such a drag.
I think I'll stop soon and then light another fag.
I'm out here to escape from the grey city gloom;
To sharpen my mind and my keen poetic tools.
Not far to go to now, as my cottage retreat
Will shortly be in sight. Then I can gently dream.

Dominic another well written and displayed poem and one, to reread after escaping from the rat race of life. Your little piece of calm deserves 10++. Many thanks Dominic. And I'm keeping my fingers crossed for near future total freedom of movement for all.

Thanks Shaun...I think I may have been subconsciously channelling the thoughts of the dastardly Dominic Cummings with this one!
