Explanation Unknown

Long path winding to destination unknown   
Strongly compels with temptation unknown  

Deep rooted trees attentively guide roadside 
Gnarly cheerleaders through motivation unknown 

Each tentative step intuitively follows another 
Tired feet persevere with determination unknown  

Invisible skittering critters crunch forest underbrush  
Each spy through curious investigation unknown  

Long winding path disappointingly runs a full circle 
Jen ends at the start — her transformation unknown  

W3 Prompt #171: Wea’ve Written Weekly, poet of the week, Deanna, prompts us to write a ghazal on a theme of our choice.

  3. This is lovely. I wish there was a physical transformation that took place when walking in nature. I think it would be so much more attractive then. I really enjoyed this. I chose to combine these two prompts too!

  11. “Gnarly cheerleaders through motivation unknown”—this is such a cool line.

    “Each tentative step intuitively follows another 
    Tired feet persevere with determination unknown”—it’s often like this, I think.
