Out Of Town

Out Of Town

A Poem by Don Shaw
"

At times, living in the city is just to much for this country boy . I have to get Out Of Town.

"
        Out Of Town

                             Out of town is a splendid place,
                             no exhaust fumes, from cars that race.
    
                            The greens are greener, and blues bluer
                            the aroma in the field is of cow manure .

                            I can breath, I can breath,wide open space,
                            out of town is a splendid place.

                            Fresh cut hay , I love that smell,
                            not at all like the concrete hell.

                            Walking,  through the fields i adore,
                            looking into the sky, watching a hawk as he soars.

                            Fishing in a pond you don't need your mace.
                            out of town is a splendid place.

                            Sun going down now , wow what a sight,
                            mixing of colors, makes my soul delight.

                            Stars shinning bright in the darkness of night.
                            All this is hidden in the big city lights.

                            Surrounded by  God and all of His Grace.
                            Out of town is a splendid place.

I am glad I don't live in a concrete jungle. I love flowers and plants too much. I like being able to step out into my backyard and feel the grass between my toes. You have described this desire quite nicely.

Great stuff, I love it. It's simple and easy, but all the better for that. I love that first step on a walk when you get off the road and tread onto a footpath through a field.

You took me there right in the middle of the field and shared all the scenes that delighted you so. Amazing journey my friend. And amazing poem. Would like to go to such places again and again.
