Nature all around
Living of how it was found
Alone but surrounded with sound
The great wonder of the world
All in my hands
Canoeing along
Bathing in ponds
I aspire to be the one
With my mate
Never wanting to be done
What a new place
New thoughts about the case
Never being in a race
Peaceful and great
A new mindset sprung apon
A state of mind that will never erase
Adventure everyday
I love to lay
Soak in the sun
And hike up and run
A memorable time
I will cherish and wisp on with wine
The beauty of it all will never fall from my mind
Glad not to be spending a dime
I wrote this poem by trying to imagine how this guy’s life is as he went on this expedition into the rivers of Ecuador and the Andes mountain. I now realize this picture was made from a sketch of what this guy saw but at first I thought it was him in the canoe exploring the rivers rather than someone else living their life. I focused more on the art itself but I also did incorporate my background knowledge of knowing they were on expedition and I was able to vividly imagine it because I’ve been on a trip similar to this one. I like when poems rhyme because sometimes it makes it flow better so I incorporated it into my poem. I broke the lines kind of just because it felt right to do so. I did not try to emulate a certain poem or poet, I was just being creative and wanted to explain what was going on for the person in the painting.
