Getting Back To My Roots…

Tis’ true ,

My roots I wish to get back too,

My writing roots whereas Nature was the theme,

Hard to do when having been out of that scene,

But as time moves forward,

My desire to return to those roots,

Grows ever stronger,

Will just have to don my Nature boots,

And get out and enjoy it more,

Now that old man winter,

Has allowed us a reprieve, from the drudgery,

Of snow and ice and in general, winters malaise…

So, tell me, fair poet friends, how do I do this?

 How do I redress in Natures clothes?

And enter the natural worlds beauty,

Maybe I should just start by removing my shoes,

And allowing my self to curl my toes,

In the sands of Nature, reliving memories of old,

Maybe not retelling those stories I have in the past told,

But just re-reading them to get new thoughts,

Memories from my past, memories from my soul,

Gotta bring them up, gotta remember the bold,

Gotta do what I do best, and give them a new foothold…

So, if I “borrow” or appropriate,

Something you feel is yours, please don’t hold back,

Tell me what you think and if it is right, I will remove,

That of whatever you feel might be mis-gotten,

For, my friends, of the Den, I don’t want to ever,

Have you angry at me for something that can be forgotten…
