Through leafy glade, past dreamlike ponds,
Uprooted
trees and fernlike fronds
Blue skies with fluffy clouds amaze;
Shy, fragile violets meet our gaze!
Dirt track,
with ruts and small stones strewn
Welcomes us
this afternoon;
This
beechwood canopy is cool;
We pause awhile by sunlit pool...
WABO* walkers out in force
Signposted route,
par for the course
But we must
have been ‘distrait’
We missed
an arrow, took wrong way…
The paths
diverged, which one to choose?
Our
photocopied map had clues
But somehow,
we had lost the plot
Did it
matter? It did not!
Kids on bikes
and neighbours passed
We found
our way back home – at last
In WABO’s
garden, we drank tea
And enjoyed
a concert – free!
