Walking with Wordsworth


I wandered freely as a cloud

Reading poetry out loud

Lost as I roamed twixt south and north

The poem distracting as I moved forth


Where will it take me

There’s rhyme but no reason

A map and a compass

More befitting this season


Head in the clouds

Sight clear as mud

Four lines of verse

And then I should


Take up the challenge

To find my way home

Leave Wordsworth behind

When you go out to roam


Mike O’Leary - April 2016
