It is the day after boxing day , it dry and the sky was blue!
I was alone and restless so I went for a walk for something to do.
As left the house the streets were deserted and quiet
But as I neared the town they were having a riot!
The shops were full as full as they could be
People pushing shoving arguing as far as the eye can see.
Please , excuse me, thank you have become redundant words
As I walked pass the shops I thought they were all acting like a herd!
As I turned upon my heels and headed back away from the town
I walked toward the fields and trees away from the crush
The cool air took the breath from me I felt my stress go down.
Walking was so much better out here in the open away from the town and the rush.
As I walk I start to breath,
As far behind the shops I leave.
People pushing , grabbing what’s the gain
I prefer to be out here alone so much more to gain.

For some reason your rhythm reminds me of Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken.

Taking a peaceful walk in nature is far better than going through the shopping mayhem. Great experience you have shared with us.
