Tuesday, July 29, 2003 The Camping Trip poemsThese are poems I wrote during our family's camping trip from 7/25-7/27. I was inspired by the places we went to. I was going to write a third poem, and I might still write it, but for the time being I'm too lazy. Anyway, here's what I wrote during that trip: The Creek What violent explosion of earth and anger made this place? Rocks grow upon rocks, Fighting to be the tallest But moss ultimately wins Taking over rock like a yellow-green cancer. Water flows like a vein of crystal-clear blood Flowing through the stony battlefield Dying in the beauty of a tiny waterfall And entering the heaven of a calm, wet, deep pool beneath the violent falls. Rock, water, moss Jagged edges and warm tables Level upon level, 'til you reach the bottom Peace at last No more fighting No more rushing. Water Pool Cold, cool pool So refreshing Cooling me when I'm so hot. Slippery, mossy rock Carrying me in On my behind. Rock seat My slippery wet throne Where I may watch the dogs and kids get wet. Waterfall Carrying kids Down like a slide Into the whirling, frothy pool of bubbles. I dip my head inside So cold at first But then so nice So cool So good to me. posted by:Russ at 11:42 PM | Post Page | 0 comments |
