Walk Away with Me - A Poem for Weekly Scribblings
Walking Away
Walk
This
Way
With
Me
I'm going to the other side
May it be an island sumptuous
Or it could be your neighbor's backyard
Mine (neighbor) has a putting green
To a big city that never closes or turn off its lights
How about camping out by the lake in an amusement park
And if we don't like it there we can walk away again to some other place
Wherever we go we'll be walking away
Our people will be missing us
Well if they do they can walk away over to us
Or walk away for just a visit
Perhaps they'll stay
Think of the thousands and thousands who've done it before
Pioneers they were called
Hippies too
I'll open my eyes and see where we will be
For
sure
we'll
be
walking
away
Good Bye
or
Should this bubble burst
I'll miss its haven for me
In back of my mind

It would be so nice to walk away from this pandemic, Jim. I can think of so many places I'd love to walk away to, still on this little island.
I love the breezy playfulness of this. Sure made me wish to go for a stroll too.
Such a delight! I had fun walking with you through this one.
I love how the "walking away" goes down steps, on the way somewhere better.
I love the format / alignment of your words!
One day we will all be walking away. We all know this but rarely talk about which is good as everyone will take the same path.
Well Jim ... you did it! My favorite of all your poems. I have walked away more than several times and it always worked out.
The form seems such a casual "walking away" but I know its intent is much deeper.
The format of this is great. It walked me all across the page.
I enjoy your poems, GEM.
Thank you, GEM, I really appreciate you. We've been blogging friends since 2005.
The poems, a lot, aren't supper good but I enjoy writing of the thoughts that come to my muse. She treats me best she can.
