Outside Footling Around

Outside
is wide

Let’s do
things new

Bring snack;
let’s pack

Daytime -
rock climb.

Hear moves
of hooves:

horseback
click-clack

Backpack;
kayak! 

Rest soon;
see moon

Stars bright
at night

Campfire
desire:

s’mores
outdoors.

Night spent
in tent

Night hums
Dawn comes -
 
new day
to play!

Incredibly imaginative, Andrea. I adore how your concise, energetic cadence eliminates the burdensome overanalysis we often bear. At times, the ultimate cure for a burdened mind is to gather a delightful treat. Congratulations on your win

Sometimes I feel abandoned. Poets seem to prefer short poems.

Dear Andrea, Ahhh reading it feels exactly like the giddy rush of stepping out the front door with a whole open weekend stretching out ahead. I love how your short, punchy rhythm strips away all the heavy overthinking we usually carry around. Sometimes, the absolute best remedy for a heavy mind is simply to pack a snack, listen to the night hum from inside a tent, and wake up ready to play. Blessings, Daniel
