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...

Premium Member Homeless Camp
What it is I need To fulfill this need Call it greed. Maybe no one will understand I need some land A place the homeless can stay as they pass by Out of the open sky Some little huts You may think I'm nuts A few acres, not much Give it the loving touch A little hutch Keep them dry One less tear for them to cry At...

Camp
Welcome to the place where I’ve put my stamp A little lot I call camp Where good times and laughter Make memories that will last forever after It’s a camp community if you will Where we can come and just be chill Whether it be by the fire or on the lake It gives me a bit of a break A place with...

Native Americans
The still air is broken by a distant shout, Watch out now Steven there's Red Indians about. Your bright eyes widen in the sunny glow, Quickly now Steven lets make you a bow. Carefully through the trees we tramp, Quitely now Steven there's the Indain camp. But you are not scared, your chest is full of pride, Now Daddy has made you...

Camp
At camp, we braided lanyards And spent hours in the pool. We both dressed and acted differently From when we were in school. We played kickball, softball, newcomb And rehearsed the yearly play, Plus did arts & crafts and puzzles, Mostly on a rainy day. Once or twice throughout the summer We would take a trip to town For a movie or for bowling Or to...
