L Milton Hankins Poet Kimo

Whitewater Rafting

New River waters skimming jagged rocks
Drenched rafters paddle madly
Are we having fun yet?

Eve Roper July 12, 2021 at 1:36 PM I would be yelling from fright. Great verse L Milton Hankins July 15, 2021 at 9:11 AM I was too chicken to try it, although I have done rafting on smaller whitewater. New River Gorge is just too much for me. My wife did it and was bruised from head to toe.
