Turns and Swamps

by Fate Chan   Feb 6, 2016


Turn left, turn right, go ahead

How many turns I took I did not count

And sure sometimes I did not know where it led

Perhaps to the deepest swamp

Stumbled, tricked, abandoned and trapped

Foolish not looking further, thinking deeper!

When I struggled out

the first time

All dizzy and muddy and messy

Never again! I swore

Less and less stepping into swamps and pitfalls

More and more walking on the steady lane

Oh so steady I slipped through it in a whirl

And realize how much I miss the swamps

Next, next time I turn I may not remember

In every single turn I become fuller

    Welcome to poems and quotes!

    This piece left me thinking... Seems the narrator ended up liking the thrill the swamps gave. It can happen. I also understood, the narrator learn from the experiences.

    I hope all is well.

    I enjoyed the read.
