rose quartzite cliff first beckons, then
bewilders inexperienced rock climber
merry wren on fencepost sings counter-
melody to deeper tones of brown thrasher
tall cottonwood and strong gnarly oak
together shelter and shade young nesters
gathering clouds on horizon bend to kiss
soft sloping shoulder of open prairie
Jupiter pulls Venus into closer orbit
two planets dance as only stars in sky
a poem in my pocket

Reading your poem, I can see, hear, & feel what it’s like in this park. Lovely and descriptive.

Thanks, Connie! My husband and I enjoyed camping there for a couple days.
