 Camping Morning

Updated: Mar 12, 2022

Before we are awake

Our bodies smile,

Knowing the colors and sounds

Of nature.

Trees so pure green

I smile like a 7th grader

At a surprise birthday party!


Bird sounds! Water dancing music!

Rocks piled here and there

With a grace

Engineers can’t comprehend.

And, finally breakfast

Joyously slopped together

Over an open fire

Just the way boys know!


Then, a walk with my dog​

Along the river, doing​

Just what men and boys know best!

Sounds like a fun camping experience, especially for men, boys and dogs.

"With a grace

Engineers can’t comprehend"

Seldom does one think of engineers and grace in the same sentence. Your pairing here is unique. Sounds like camping with you would be fun!
