Barbara Gorelick Poet Quatrain

A Simple Solution

Out walking in the woods one day
I found a creek that begged me to cross
Just a bit too wide to attempt a jump
And the only rock was covered with moss

I walked up and down the bank a bit
Couldn't find a log to bear my weight
After a bit of thought, took off my shoes
And sure enough, my feet worked great....

For the Dilemma contest...
