Paula Goldsmith Poet Sonnet

Campfire Cologne

I am now "away from the noise,"  
my fruit gum I am chewing.  
Sitting here wondering what the boys,  
could be doing.  

 
 
Now all unpacked,  
a book I will read.  
Need to use bug spray before I am attacked,  
Oh no I do not want to bleed.  

 

All "satisfied and alone,"  
I thought this trip would be more fun.  
The rain has me chilled to the bone,  
maybe I am done.  
 

 
Campfire cologne will always stay,  
since I used an orange can of bear spray.

Bill Baker November 9, 2023 at 8:29 PM Nice Sonnet, Paula. I like the added humor for the closing two lines. Hugs, Bill Paula Goldsmith November 10, 2023 at 6:41 AM Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you like my fun write/humor. I thought it was a fun way to end it. Watch out for the spray deodorant in an orange can, it will keep the bears/people away. Hahaha!!!! Enjoy your day with blessings...............
