Imagine

the waterfall wrapped itself around my ankles
as its spray lifted over my head and I was misted
smile stretching hands over head
I stand in a back bend welcoming the wet



Can you see this poem? I have a vivid image and hope that I am doing this right now as I am exploring the woods on a nature adventure.

Come slice with us slicers over at the Two Writing Teachers blog with Stacey and Ruth!

  3. Love that invitational first line - it sounds delightful! I, too, am amazed at the idea of wi-fi i a tent...camping has changed!

  6. Yep I see it, Betsy. I was misted yesterday but not in that romantic way you were. I was caught in an unpleasant New Jersey downpour. I wish I had been with you,

  7. I love this line: "the waterfall wrapped itself around my ankles." I can imagine the sights, feel the mist and wish it was my ankles! I could do camping with WIFI but I'm not too sure about all those mosquitoes! Have a great trip!

  9. You painted a beautiful, sensual poem with your words. I will imagine it during the next hot spell to help me cool. Wi-fi in a tent. Camping sure has changed!

  12. i love your alliteration that bookends this poem beginning with waterfall wrapped & ending with welcoming the wet. Yes, I stood with you stretching hands over head, but had to stop at the backbend!
