Whoops sorry about that redundant email. I wanted to say -
Some very lovely and deeply personal writing flowing here... I’m really enjoying reading these heartfelt experiences of walking in all its different forms. Walking truly touches the soul and provides a sense of connection to our place in the order of things (to borrow just a little from Mary Oliver!)

Hi All, what a lovely idea Andrew.
 
I’ve been giving this some thought and then noticed the print of Richard Long’s ‘A Hundred Mile Walk’ on my wall from 1971-72 that I re-walked in 2013.
Not technically a poem but I love the sense of rhythm to it...
 
Day 1   Winter skyline, a north wind
Day 2   The Earth turns effortlessly under my feet
Day 3   Suck icicles from the grass stems
Day 4   As though I had never been born
Day 5   In and out the sound of rivers over familiar stepping stones
Day 6   Corrina Corrina
Day 7   Flop down on my back with tiredness
            Stare up at the sky and watch it recede.
 
 
Best wishes and happy poetry day.
 
Luke

Hi Everyone
 
It is National Poetry Day in the UK and I wondered if anyone had a favourite walking poem or suggestions of poetry one should take on a walk.
 
I am expecting Dee Heddon and Misha Myers to select some terrific examples from the Walking Library.
 
What about poetry walks - I like the sound of this trail: http://eastvillagepoetrywalk.org/ - has anyone tried it?
 
And a plug for a Walking Artist and Poet - listen in to Katrina Naomi: http://www.talkingwalking.net/katrina-naomi-talking-walking/
 
Looking forward to your suggestions
 
Best, Andrew
