from flat Dakota
emerges a river trail
hard on legs and kids
but water wins views
however it meanders
giving life to all
Month: July 2019
Road Trip 2019: Dakota, Day One
from womb to witness
our baby sees Mt. Rushmore
thirteen years later
even butterflies
and puppies couldn’t withhold
their love for the road
What Wasn’t Said
book club getaway:
everything you can picture
(a rich man’s world)
all the hikes and views
we could only hope to own
with our simple steps
The Golden Gate
just one hour out
you can shed your city life
for backpacking dreams
Since Second Grade
best friends forever
no continent can destroy
the love they have built
Climactic
hailstorm destruction
ten minutes of hell falling
ruin to garden
Stand Up. Paddle.
my oldest happy?
so hard for me to earn now.
worth every penny.
Wear Him Out
backpacking with dog:
sudden hailstorm brings frenzy
of dirt-rolling wash
All in a Day’s Work
packing to backpack:
more effort than backpacking
as puppy attests
