Coddiwomple (v.): to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination.
Linking to dVerse tangled traveler’s heart prompt
oh, camping is the life for me!
drive to the mountains, woods or sea
go anywhere you’d rather be
set up campsite, then go biking
find a new trailhead for hiking
before dark, a campfire striking
to eat outdoors whets appetite
pancakes in morning, fish at night
roast a marshmallow (toast just right)
mosquitoes bite so do beware
and never argue with a bear;
don’t follow cougar prints to lair
go south for winter, north in spring
migrate with birds to hear them sing
wanderlust is seasonal fling
no matter how far one may roam
you’ll always find the way back home
(with GPS on “smart” cellphone)
take photos of each memory
living in tents (or big RV)
yes, camping is the life for me!

I used to love camping too until it rained too much. This certainly links to coddiwomple. Amusing and fun style.

I love sleeping in tent… it brings you so close to nature… sometimes I do not like campgrounds, so I prefer the wilderness… Love the rhyming joy of your poem

How fun and adventurous it must be to camp and just be near nature ~ Sadly I am not too keen on camping but I do love travelling out to the sea and mountains ~ Always good to have the GPS around to go back home ~ Coddiwompler is the magic word then ~

Yes, thanks to you and CC for introducing us to this playful word, Grace…almost as fun as camping!

Oh, I remember those camping days. I used to enjoy tent camping a lot…..and your poem reminded me once again why I really enjoyed it, and you almost convinced me to want to do it again!!
