into another world

Grace @ Everyday Amazing



Running 
into the woods - 
pine cones crunch, twigs snap, leaves- 
a soft carpet, a bird trills and -
  I'm lost-


Wordsworth Quote:

“Books! tis a dull and endless strife:
Come, hear the woodland linnet,
How sweet his music! on my life,
There's more of wisdom in it.” 
― William WordsworthWordsworth: Poems

  8. I like the build up you created, the sense of running back to nature and the clever ambiguity of the last line delivers a solid punch. I also like to get lost this way.

  16. This made me smile. My hubby and I were recently on quite an adventurous hike...but luckily the trails were well marked. It's amazing how quickly you can become lost in even the most familiar of surroundings. I loved this!

  17. To be "lost" sounds very positive here, as if at one with nature.

  18. Beautiful image in few words of the moment when nature makes us see her face, sometimes lovely, sometimes alien.

  19. I smiled at your last line. As Susan said, you make being lost in the woods sound like something wonderful. I love it.

  23. Yes, excellent sounds...and I like the way you've combined the form and the Wordsworth quote prompts. And I too am easily lost! The words, picture, form everything is superb.

  24. Isn't it good to lose yourself at times?

  25. The deep forests are the only place I have never been lost. I may not have been able to say where I was but I knew where I was going and how to get there.

    Interesting form, nice structure Grace with a very good flow to a place indicative of either the outside or the great within.

  30. What struck me was the unnoticed feeling of what would happen to the carefree pleasure of being lost in the forest when darkness sets in, the owl screeches and the coyote howls. It's only then that the real terror of being lost dawns on the mind.
