a poem in my pocket

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!
