Boundary Waters Summer

Living woods, Full force
Examine map, Plot course

Kevlar light, Deep stroke
Fellow voyageurs, Friendly folk

Mosquitoes hoover, Buzzing drone
Itchy bite, Wind blown

Boulder point, Otters play
Tent up, Campsite stay

Cedar fragrance, Needle floor
Cobalt sky, Eagles soar

Strip attire, Hang limb
Ledge leap, Refreshing swim

Surface lure, Chugging pop
Smallmouth explosion, Heart stop

Beavertail slap, Timber lodge
Nylon tarp, Rain dodge

Food hung, Avoid bear
Branch splinter, Night scare

Portage packs, Move forth
Delightful juncture, Summer north

"Branch splinter, Night scare"

Been there, done that. Most trips! :) This is a good one Mike.

Very Nice! Thanks

There are certain noises at night you don't want to hear out there :) Thanks for the kind words.

I like it.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I never really know if anyone enjoys seeing my poetry when it is posted due to lack of responses. I'm sure there are probably others who like it, they just don't say anything ;)

Sorry - yep, love 'em!

She's around somewhere, I saw her post recently on a different thread.........

Nice poem! Made me smile and wish I was smelling the cedar.

I again enjoyed the poem, QMike.

Simple cadence,
few words said.
Hundreds of images
stirred in my head!

Thanks! Well done.

Thanks for sharing! Very good.

I try to paint a picture the best I can with 80 words. Thanks everyone for the kind words!

I'm guessing you have lots of people who love them and feel humbled by your ability to express in words what they'd like to be able to say.

I didn't realize I liked poetry until I read a poem about the Boundary Waters.
I now like one poem. Well done Mike.
