Outdoor Poems with Rhythm & Soul

By Don Pajot

"I've written about the lakes and streams

And the beauties that they hold,

And even of those pre-hunt dreams

That somehow do unfold.

But most of all I've written

Just to let my heart run free,

And let my loves and passions sing

A little song for thee." ~ Don Pajot

And even rhythms form.

Sometimes it’s heavy stuff that’s there

And other times it’s light,

But every time it goes somewhere

And gets out something right.

I’ve written about wilderness

And hunting buddies too,

And always with a gratefulness

For the friendships which we grew.

I’ve written about lakes and streams

And the beauties that they hold,

And even of those pre-hunt dreams

That somehow do unfold.

But most of all I’ve written

Just to let my heart run free,

And let my loves and passions sing

A little song for thee.
