Okay, I'm going to try something different for this post...a little poetry. The words are all mine, inspired by the beauty of some of our recent group runs in Canberra.Autumn Morn', a Runner's Dream
To run is to live, a Lover’s delight
At dawn, with the sun and morning’s first light
Friends hear the call during the frost coloured Fall
Amid the tint and the texture of leaves that enthral
It’s love at first sight, this runner’s dream
Of a long and lone road, across valley and stream
Back to Nature most virgin, our souls running high
She’s a beauty this morning gal, our hearts just sigh
And then there’s the breeze, Nature’s breadth as a truce
Her sweet and svelte touch, a ruse to seduce
She consorts with our senses, “Oh Nature you’re a tease”
“Run, run” she whispers, playing us with ease
The friends in our group, some run and some walk
We’re all a little different, but we all like to talk
What bliss, what joy, what indescribable glee
To run, at one, with Lady Nature most free

Don I am dumbfounded! What an incredibly beautiful peom.
You certainly have touched my running heart. There is no about that.
There is no doubt about that I meant to write.
Don you are amazing.
Like Eddie I am speechless. The first time I read it I didn't realise that those were your words. You make running in Canberra at this time of year sound (almost) appealling.
Do you write a bit of poetry? This can't be a one off.
The picture matches perfectly, where is it from?
Love the copyright..lol..and the poem
very noice...i can relate to it even though i don't run in a group...
Wow! Great work there ;) And what a change to the normal posts - will all the futur one's be in peotry? ;)
That's just amazing Don. Very evocative and inspirational. One thing I find is it makes me want to venture off the pavement and into a more natural environment to enhance the running experience :)
Absolutely beautiful! Your poem literally gave me goose bumps.
