Poem
The snow mobile stops and sinks to the level of the snow, no more to go Which way do I take for shelter the sure or the maybe Deciding on a surety hoped the 200 miles was the best option … but how can I survive this, gathering the necessities in a bag light enough to carry leaving a note on the vehicle I start my journey slowly snow shoes aren’t easy to manoeuvre when you’re tired and afraid must gain ground by nightfall a shelter of snow to make. Plenty of boiled water to keep me going today, but hunger tangs can’t be laid Food: I must make a hole to fish, a fire to make and that shelter to build I cut blocks of snow and make a shelter for the night Had means of lighting a fire to give the bears a fright, cut a hole to fish Am sitting here like a child with stick and string hoping for a bite A great big tug tells me one is here, I pull with my might to land it near. Hit its head to kill him with ease, I cut up and cook enough to please…. Suddenly I hear a whimpering noise I look up to see A husky type dog looking at my tea, I throw it some fish didn’t touch the sides As with a big gulp was soon in his insides, then he laid down close to me Sharing my water and fish and the fire ….. Weird sounds of nature all through the night My sleep was shallow as I worked out my plans Had an early fish breakfast then started to walk Had a companion with me didn’t feel so alone on these many days Looked for berries not the white ones am told…will Keep up my strength until I get home….. The greenery I am advised are precarious to devour Best keep to fish and berries a little every hour Oh my what’s this lumbering this towards us A bear , a black one, pulled my anorak over my head, I pray Arms akimbo so I looked huge and made very noisy yells, bear walked away A trappers hut smoke I can see, hope he will be as pleased to see me
