Steem Poetry Slam Challenge #1 Entry - ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROAM – A walk upon the earth - Original Doubled Limerick by @papa-pepper

In case you are unaware, @prufarchy is running a Steem Poetry Slam Challenge, so please check it out.

A special thanks to @serejandmyself for reminding me what a doubled limerick was, and to @cathi-xx for mentioning how exactly it was to be written.


ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROAM - A walk upon the earth


I walk upon the paths of earth
And I cross the land of my birth
I look all about
To figure it out
I’m not really sure what its worth


I wander through the desert’s plain
The land is dry and thirsts for rain
I stoop to the ground
I look all around
And think of a cure for its pain


Deep into the ocean I dive
Its embrace makes me feel alive
I float in the sea
I look around me
I wonder if it will survive


I enter a thicket of trees
My beard blows and plays in the breeze
The shadows are cool
Reflect in a pool
It is here my soul feels at ease


As I walk back into the town
My feet hit the concrete not groun’
Hard under my feet
I feel incomplete
So it’s time l turn back aroun’
