I was able to go on this first Poetry Walk today. What a wonderful addition to our beautiful island. The presents of these poems adds depth to the experience of walking thru unique environments, it was great to have the shared observations of the group also. Thank you to Karen Vedder for the idea and the Committee for the work done.
Let’s all go out and enjoy the trails and the poems!
