Premium Member Campsite Breakfast

“Wake up, breakfast is cooking.”
Bacon in cast iron skillet,
sounds and smells, wafted through the tent.
“Coming”, the crackling bacon got me!

Camping

Sky’ turning from sun rising morning dew. 
Camping in the woods green lit sparkly view.
Starting a campfire to make breakfast. 
Then to the lake fishing for greatness.

Choose Wisely

I learned when camping in the damn bush,
a dead motor is worse than an ambush.
If your battery goes flat
it should remind you that,
to never buy a car you can't push.

Spring Time

Winter's time is over which ushers spring in,
Slowly young plants sprout from the soil on brightday ,
Migrate birds hover still and fish on seashores,
Camping will come soon.

Camping



               Nature is fantastic
               Plus so much food
                   Add friends
             And a bottle of vodka
          To complete the moment.

In Terminal Number Two

Came home from land of Israel on a red eye flight
Connecting routes canceled because of winter’s bite
I'm camping in the airport with fluorescent view
A weary pilgrim in terminal number two.

Premium Member Hungry Critter

While camping up high in the trees
I woke up one “mourning” to pee
Thought that I heard a “bare”
But it was only a “hair”
Who was eating my breakfast with tea.

Premium Member Camping in Real Life

I sit in my home and I often pine
For the forest scent 

Three days in my smelly tent and I moan
For my bed at home

A tent or a mansion, why do I care
I’m not quite happy neither here nor there

I'Ve Never Been Camping

Camping out
Its dark
I’ll light my flash
Let it light up the path
I wont get lost
Just 
Not yet
I’m camping out
In the woods 
It’s dark
I’ll whistle my song
Keeps the vampires at bay
I’ll sleep when its day

An Albino Girl In the Neighboring Camping Lot

Loading my car
trying to hide my covert examination
Fine features accented by heavy white brows and lashes 
Colorless, shining hair 
Such a strange and elegant beauty
What is it like to be so different
Yet so lovely?

thrown into the coals

Rapture

I obey and do as I am told
But poor Nigels now bought n sold

Awaiting me death on the twenty first O May
Harry Camping let me down not much to say

With re-calculation now its October twenty one
Let us prepare ready again to be finally gone

Rocky Mountain Camping

Crisp cool morning, hot cup of serenity, fry up a mess of tranquility
    Campfire smoke curls around the pines as it floats down like a high mountain stream
    Left my old fishing pole at home, so that old trout can have his Rocky Mountain dream

Camping

Logs burn 
and flames blaze,
licking at the wind,
spastic and crazed.

Sparks jump
and smoke trails,
clogging lungs 
upon inhales.

Campers laugh
and begin to croak
some silly song
about the forest folk.

Trees sway 
from roots to branches,
hovering quietly
as the fire dances.

Premium Member Summer trilogy

Buzzing bees

pollen covered bee
flits from flower to flower
nature's matchmaker

Camping

frogs croaking in base
crickets chirping in tenor
camp with nature's band


Midnight swim

reflecting moonlight
lunar cool lake shadows dance
dappling your sweet face

Tramp Stamp

There was a cute young man
where I worked
Who was buying his
fishing license
And I 
so matter o factly 
asked him if he wanted
his tramp stamp with that
He quickly chimed in
Let's see
I am going camping
and if I catch a tramp
without the stamp
is the DNR 
gonna fine me??
