David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

3/26/2025 for Write Eight Beautiful Lines sponsored by Constance La France

Beautiful Mammoth Mountain Memories

Drinking from clear, gurgling streams,
catching frogs, unfolding dreams,
without iPhones, watches or clocks,
sitting high on granite rocks -
my memory is unwinding 
a young boy exploring and finding 
pumice and obsidian flakes 
in the mountains over Mammoth Lakes.

Lin Lane March 26, 2025 at 9:29 AM Those wonderful childhood memories are valuable treasures to hold. Very nostalgic write, David. Mammoth Lakes. I hope those DNA mammoth cloned mice aren't going to lead to those wooly beasts returning from extinction! David Crandall March 26, 2025 at 3:53 PM Thanks Lin - haha, yeah, I saw a picture of those. I only had 8 lines, so I got into the rocks, but i feel sorry I missed the beautiful flora and fauna of the area.
