The Fool - A poem

The Fool

I could go walking to the far field
thinking I might find summer there
where different greens grow in the
water that lies on the surface in a little
valley there

Where there’s a place beneath a tree
with dreams to reach and songs
that sound like the smallest pebble
in an empty bed, echoing and echoing
old melodies

But I come back to my room alone
and I am dry and out of dreams
so that everything laughs at the fool
who thirsts for the water of
distant valleys.

For someone so creative I’d think you could come up with a title that doesn’t include " - (says my title must be 20 characters)".

Edit: :smile:
Nice poem by the way.

What though the spicy breezes blow;
Soft o’er ceylon’s isle;
Though every prospect pleases;
And only man is vile

It’s placed wrong for reading. I was exasperated because the software seemed to be dictating how I should write my poem.
