in dew and mist
under layered clouds
penetrated
by the crimson sky
of a new day.
Come on my love
put your boots on
we will be riding
from dawn to dust –
In the stillness
of the mountain air
the distinctive
crackle of dry wood
echoes between the trees.
As I turn to feed the fire
sparks flicker and fly
when the morning
catch of the day
is set upon
the hot coals
of carnal desire
to be continued ...
We woke bathed
in dew and mist
under layered clouds
penetrated
by the crimson sky
of a new day.
Come on my love
put your boots on
we will be riding
from dawn to dust –
The distinctive
crackle of dry wood
echoes between the trees
as I turn to feed the fire
sparks flicker and fly
when the morning
catch of the day
is set upon
the hot coals
of carnal desire
to be continued
wonderful poem for beginning of summer! Nice to see you again!
ReplyDeleteLovely serie Joanny..... nice done.
ReplyDeleteGreetings and a nice weekend,
Joop
Wonderful poem, wonderful pictures, makes a truly wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,
Yvonne.
Looks like a great trip - and the fish looks tasty. I love 'the pale gold of a new day'
ReplyDeletesee this would be pretty close to heaven for me...love camping, living outside, riding a horse campfires, cooking over one...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, pictures and words.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering where you are. Are the photos yours or someone else's from tumbler? I love the idea of "glamping". I see photos in zines about the wonderful tents and it makes the idea of camping all that more apealing.
ReplyDeleteI can hear the crackling of the fire and smell the flavors of the smoke. Very Oregon post.
ReplyDeleteJoanny, wherever you are, you seem to be having a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteMaking memories...that's what it's all about.
Lovely poem & images.
Sigh. Looks wonderful, poem sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem, and I'm looking forward to read more:)
ReplyDeleteWish you a lovely weekend dear blogfriend.
Greetings from,

I thought I'd never fine the end to your comments Congrats Kiddo. I too like the sound of this story. I myself am not a camper except in the back yard. This almost made me want to camp on a river side It must be fun to wake up in the woods and smell coffee and Bacon on a campfire. I will be looking for the rest of the writing. yvonne
ReplyDeleteHave a great Autumn.
