You took me on a most needed vacation with your poem. I relish solitude, but hate being alone. Go figure. My solitude is in the morning before everyone wakes up. I count myself fortunate to be able to have at least an hour.

Jaded831, I too and not a loner, but my solitude is very precious..as I need to recharge.
Comment from Kingsrookviii
This is very good! Better yet, I relearned something I've been lacking, myself; in my writing. The gratful ease of peacefully poetic threads. I found this to be therapitic and reminds me of my excusiond into wild places in nature. This is a poet's poem. Well done.

My sincerest thank you!
Comment from artisart4u
I like your poem, there is nothing better sometimes than to take a stroll in the park, it is so peaceful.
I like your ellipses and especially the last one that came before a period.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for your generous six and kind words
Comment from Michael Cassar
The author provides a personal journey into solitude. The slow ebbing disturbance of silence calls attention to what is to come. The noises along the mountain trail, gushing stream, noise of bees, and many images of violation of silence in the wilderness. This interruption of silence, however does not impede the writer from attaining his desire goal: SOLITUDE. A journey granting the author access to his inner self. Many would like to reach this stage of inner joy and tranquility.

Michael a wonderful review and supportive comments, thank you.
Comment from zanya
Yes it's interesting to follow the poet's path here as he/she discovers solitude 'remote mountain trail,' 'a flat boulder' or 'against a mighty oak'- Nature nurses us- thanks for sharing.

Zanya, nature is the saliva that soothes the soul, for me, for certain!
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Solitude comes through loud and clear on this one, so you definitely complied with the contest parameters, and I enjoyed this composition very much. Writer to writer, though, may I just say that these two cliches, so close together, took away from the good flow and your obvious creativity, both on wonderful display via the multitude of other descriptions you offered up, both before and after: "mighty oak" and and "maddening crowd"(...though, actually I think the idiomatic term is "madding crowd." The difference is that the former is driving you insane, while, with the latter, it's the crowd that's insane.) You're way more original and expressive than to settle for those two overused phrases.

A worthy entry for the "Solitude" contest! This was a lovely write and I enjoyed reading your interpretation of solitude. I know solitude can be considered a positive or negative thing, but for me, it's mostly positive... So I enjoyed reading a poem about this topic from a perspective I resonate with. Great work.

Comment from Douglas Goff
This is a great entry for the Solitude contest. I think we all need those quiet breaks from real life at one point or another.
I love trees and I love quiet so this was right up my alley. Great job and good luck in the competition.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice image and presentation.
-You have written a very good poem
with vivid imagery that paints a good word picture.
-Your opening verses create a peaceful mood
from all that you are experiencing in nature.
-I like this line:
"In silence, I rest reposed against a mighty oak."
-I agree with you about being "absent from distractions or scrutiny."
-A very good concluding verse.
-An excellent entry; good luck in the contest.
