Notes About The Poem

MOUNTAIN ROAD TRIP

He packed his snacks with reckless cheer,  
three pine-cones gone before first gear;  
he zoomed uphill without a care~  
this squirrel’s bound for mountain air.

He stopped to pose by every pine,  
claimed each tall peak as “truly mine,”  
took selfies with his windswept hair~  
this squirrel’s bound for mountain air.

He chased a goat up rocky ground,  
then waved at hikers all around;  
the switchbacks spun him everywhere~  
this squirrel’s bound for mountain air.

And when he reached the summit’s crest,  
he puffed his chest and squeaked, “I’m blessed!”  
then glided down with style to spare~
