SIMPLICITY
By: Hannah McGee (written while backpacking in the Porcupine Mountains)
Crashing of waves
Splatter of rain
Crackling of fire
Waterfall rushing
Smoke of fire
Food cooked
Rain fall
Sunset over Lake Superior
Star-filled sky
Forever at Lake of the Clouds
Sun gleaming off water
Fire warmth
Dryness of sleeping bag
Coolness of lake
Burning in legs
Footprints
By: Hannah McGee
White
drifts of precipitation
Lays
on the ground and roof
Brisk
breeze blows on face
Sends
shivers through your body
Evergreens
lush and strong
Provoke
thoughts of Christmas decorating
Packing
of snow in hands
Snowball
splats on winter jacket
Gleaming
ice catches people off guard
As
they slip and slide trying not to fall
Trees
bare of their leaves
Sway,
creaking in the wind
Grass
creeps up in the blanket of snow
Showing
its green color one last time
Students
walk to their classes
Dreaming
of hot cocoa and warmth
Listen
to the sound of voices
Talking
of snowmobiles and break
Puddles
of water on the floor
The
remains of a snowy footprint.
