Let’s Walk Up the Hill
A winning rhyme from Ana Daksina.
*****
Let’s walk up the hill
Let’s go see some life
Go witness some love
Some labor, some strife
Let’s walk by the water
Let’s let the sea air
Blow all the cobwebs
Out of our hair
Let’s walk in the meadow
Let its slumber remind us
How to leave dumb
Complications behind us
Let’s walk in the forest
Primevally old
Reorient selves
In the timeless untold
Let’s go walk in the world
Gather up what we see
Then bring it all back
Write it in poetry!

Lee Dunn has been writing since the age of 18, but found that work got in the way for the ensuing 48 years. In his home town of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he reveled in his independence at an early age, and spent as much time as he could exploring the city’s Arts scene. He was introduced to poetry and prose by the works of two literary giants, namely J.R.R. Tolkien and J.W. Lennon and thence fell in love with the written word. His work includes poetry, short fiction, and personal essays, and ranges in theme from the surreal to the horrific, nostalgic, and themes on the human condition. He has been published on Spillwords.com, The Dark Poets Club, Journal of Undiscovered Poets, Crepe & Penn Literary magazine, and the Shelburne Free Press.
