A very well-written reflective poem, brought up to date by the contrast with the present day border restrictions compared with the freedom to travel of past times. Best wishes for this entry.

Hey Jude story I've seen you on here for quite some time this was funnier is that it matched the criteria quite well. I've never been to Vermont but I hear they have good maple syrup though. A great subject talking about the past and watering holes, brings a bit of nostalgia myself as I grew up in California and Wyoming. Enjoy this piece, a pleasure and an honor to write with you here.

Blessings,

Brother Badger Cull

This is a nice poem. I didn't really understand the meaning until I read the explanation underneath and then it all came together for me. I didn't realize that Canada had such severe restrictions. Personally, I think this who Covid thing has served to empower the governments of the world at the expense of the governed. Hope you can return to your life soon.
Blessings.

Hey There

It's such a pain this dang virus. It's weird not to be able to just go a few miles.
However, you did get a good poem out of it.

We are facing another hard lockdown here...oh well, it'll keep the tourists out of the woods...

Thanks for the thoughtful review. Yeah, it is starting to get to me, especially with the warm weather. I am getting an electric bike so I can scoot around the lake while I wait for the border to open.
Have a great weekend, cheers, j

I remember your stories about your adventure days sailing and traveling! I am guessing when you are comparing the "county fairs" to the "county lines," the latter refers to the borders? I do hope they open the borders soon! Best wishes in the contest!

Thanks for the review. I changed county fair to summer fair so I do not repeat. I guess that the country line and county line would run parallel.
Canada and US have longest peaceful border in the world, yay.
Thanks for your insightful reviews and have a great weekend, cheers, j
