Snowshoe Adventure

It was supposed to be A simple snowshoe expedition Nothing glamorous or too exciting But the day started out magnificent Gloriously sunny and mild Ideal for newbies and amateurs It felt like a girl guide outing Average age was ten The trail was awesome Breathtaking on either side Snow covered bushes as far as you could see Glistening sprinkling of fairy dust And here we were single file A line up of coloured tuques and snowsuits Getting acquainted with our snowshoes Making our imprints with every step What a surprise awaiting around the corner A huge bonfire Who would have guessed Roasting wieners on a branch Best lunch we ever had A most magical marvelous memory When all was done and said Nothing left but light fluffy snowflakes Caressing the last few remaining embers AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted for contest EMBERS AND SNOWFLAKES sponsored by ANTHONY SLAUSEN - January 2, 2018
