Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Our Family Vacation at Pine Tree Inn

    A few scattered yellow wood cabins
       a swimming pool surrounded by pines
    
    a pier to fish from, a lake not to go in
       ‘cept for the stinkpots* and sailboats                *i.e., motorboats

    marshmallow roasts by the campfire at dusk
      a ghost story or two to relate

    along with the hotdogs and burgers that day
      the ghosts evicted whatever we ate

Hilda Greenhough August 28, 2024 at 7:48 AM I'm glad you had a good time. Summer is over, but it's not too early to send a deposit for next year's lakeside rental. Thank you for these picturesque memories.
