The following is a poem I wrote about an amazing weekend I had at a music festival last year. It`s called The Winnipeg Folk Festival and it`s one of those places where everyone`s judgements and cruelties are left at home and we`re all there for a good time and that creates the most amazing atmosphere. Read on for my version of the Folk Fest experience.  Once we arrived And picked out our site, I knew from that instant The moment was right. Guitars in hand, We surveyed the crowd; The music was heard For miles around. We sat on the grass, We gazed at the stars, We walked through the mud, We slept in our cars. (just once) The sun was hot And so was the beer, But that didn`t matter Cause we were all here. Through the still of the night The drums were pounded, The rain came down, The voices resounded. Sunday night We were all together It felt like We had danced forever As we headed home, Our feet were sore, Our skin was burnt Still we wanted more. Although no one spoke, In the air it was clear, That we all couldn`t wait `Til this time next year. Those days full of sunshine, Sprinkled with laughter; Will stay in my dreams Forever after. "The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it." -Dylan Thomas |
