Weary Traveler

Searching for love

Weary Traveler

By Jack Ivey

 

So long of path he wanders

O’er valleys cast a’ deep

Of lengthy days to ponder

Down mountain pass so steep

 

His journey tends to linger

Nor nighttime shall he rest

For this, the weary traveler

The prize does stay his quest

 

O’ heart so true awaiting

Beyond the oceans wide

The distance concentrating

To lie but near her side

 

Of tattered clothed exhaustion

No obstacle shall slow

The pace of constant travel

To get where he must go

 

For as the city beckons

Of light shone up above

At last the weary traveler

Shall find his one true love

Your poetry always makes me smile you give the idea of true love some validity and makes me think that it just might still be out there. Another great poem Jack.

[Jack...]

I am happy it made you smile. Thank you

Welcome :)

Well, I like the poem. It has a good rhthem and a good sound. But I don't understand the last two lines. Why do you use the word "Alas" if the weary traveler is going to find his love?

[Jack...]

I was in error, I will change it.

[Jack...]

It has been edited, Thank you for catching that. I must have been traveling a little too fast or was way too weary when I wrote this.

Now this one is wonderful, I have a poem called "Weary Traveler" as well.
Much different than yours, but I like this. Reminds me of someone that
is stuck and looking for a way out....awesome piece.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much, I will look for yours directly

[Jack...]

I do not see it on here. If you post it in the future, be sure and let me know.
