There once was a man who ventured into the woods
He was a quiet man who did everything he could
With a pack on his back and a stick in his hand
He began to make a journey for a foreign land
It wasn't until he realized he was officially lost
That he began to shiver as if covered in frost
The tree to his left was covered in fruit
The tree to his right had an enormous root
The treetops opened as a breeze rolled in
He sat down and began to reflect on all of his sin
It wasn't until later that he noticed something out of place
What it was brought a brand new expression to his face
"Hello...who are you...and where do you come from?"
The man was speechless as the voice was like an intercom
"Come with me now and you will have what you seek."
The man stood up and followed without making a peep
The trees broke open and a new view came about
The man was filled with joy as he let out a shout
The land before him was exactly what he wanted
Only then did he realize he was right back where he started

- Very nice imagery one this one! There were several spots I would fix, but overall, a good job

- Yeah I actually added the commas last minute but you make a good point. I think I may remove them.

- I love the imagery the only issue i have is with the commas (in stanza 3 line 2, stanza 4 lines 2 and 4, and the last in stanza 5 line 2) I think the poems flow is much more smooth when read without those commas ^_^
