Letters from Camp
I found a bunch of letters Dated 1993, Which were written by my son from camp And forwarded to me. It was his first time staying there, For one month, in a bunk. He was away, with new routines And he was in a funk. His letters said he missed us And was homesick just at night. Aside from that, it seemed that he Was managing...

Packing for Camp
The grandkids are heading to sleepaway camp, Their clothing all labeled and packed, Plus all of the extras they may or not need - Way too much, as a matter of fact. They bring pillows and blankets and flashlights and fans And shin guards and sandals and cleats And towels and bug spray and sunscreen and stamps And shampoo, toothbrush,...

Lumbered
Early in a damp woodsman's camp seeing sawyers from a logging town to stop the conversation bogging down as asked my age among other things I replied, 'Cut off my head and count the rings,' then had to be quick-witted and fast-footed made a bee-line through the trees so as not to lose my noggin when a burly lumberjack grabbed his axe I ducked...

Babacracy
I am no king, yet here I stand, A puppet bound by Baba’s hand. He lifts me high, he pulls the strings, He owns my fate, he crowns my wings. He whispers soft, “The throne is yours,” Yet locks my soul behind his doors. With stolen gold, he paves my way, My name, my face, the price he pays. He calls me son,...

Premium Member Outside the Camp
Outside the camp In mocking cruelty They crucified Their King. ‘Away with him’ They cried, And thus Religion triumphed For another day, The status quo Preserved for priests Impelled by hatred To defend their faulted cause. Too blind to see The God-writ symbols Of their ancient rites, Those pointers To the Prince of Life They pierced And pinned Outside the camp. They saw their deed A timely vindication Of their careful rule To keep the Roman peace. This self-appointed Christ Suits...

Witch from Minnesota
Her spell remains over me 44 years later Once a bumblebee has kissed the nectar of Snapdragon The creature is fever of succulence She says, “You kiss so softly I think it’s a thing with guys with braces My name is Bob.” That’s quite a coincidence After our third day at Civitan camp in Albion High school awaits us all this fall Someone...

The Day Camp Bus
It makes a stop; the kids climb on And poof! The day camp bus is gone. The parents wave; the kids, strapped in, Are off to let their day begin. Some campers smile, while others fret, Not certain of their prospects yet. Still, most of them (not everyone) Will spend some hours having fun. The afternoon will come at last, Their camping session over...

Premium Member Campfire Cologne
beneath serene and reflective night skies gentle feelings silence each tear, each fear, breathing in smoldering dreams who arise rustles of stillness, spark a soft prayer. glowing faintly beneath the moonlit night, flames enchanting, silencing the sad sighs, warm odors tempt the eager appetite along the camp’s edge, before the fire dies. stars like glitter stand in the softest clouds, caressing heaven with easy...
