Two more poems



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.
