A Walk In The Country Comments

Powerful images that I can relate to My friend. perhaps as a poet I am on the same wavelength.

Strong imagery and sensory effect. Hard to relax on a walk like that. Hopefully you got to write the poem somewhere where it was nice and quiet and calm. -chuck

A walk by the river, something so usually good and restorative to the spirit... Life changes, yes, but sometimes one can go back. A matter of fact tone makes the loss of peace all the more clear and sad... Esther

I like that you mention some of the nastier things about country living, John. This you do with the same rich and visual language as in the rest of the poem. I also like the poem's peaceful finish. You've carried me into this landscape, John. It stands vividly before my eyes. I can hear the noises there as well. 10/10. Regards, Gina.
