Basics of Comforting
Pathetic Fallacy
Back to the basics
To there we find a path
A path which is etic to cure
Yon mountain hidden dale
We climb that big hill
View the other side
Peace in valley
We will find
The climb
Climb we must
To see other side
Put on our hiking shoes
Foot to path pet the bunny
Turtle pig cow and lion come
Natural enemies combine
To save the turtle
Life on the hill
Our friend
At the top
Fresh air
Gentle breeze
Blows through our hair
Smell the flowers yellow
Purple reds and orange abide
High climber's rich reward
Pick some for our vests
Enjoy the pretty view
Peace there abides
Stay we mustn't
Below calls
Almost there
Going down
That is easy part
We get there fast can't dally
Sweets there to find
Aren't you glad
We came
Our Reward
See the spread
Laid out food and drink, ours
Linen sheets feather pillows
Gyms pools friends and wifi
Paths are strewn with gold
Ours to pick, shall not want
Here we stay, campers not
Find music -- soothe our souls

ReplyDeleteI love the shape of your poem, Jim, which takes me on an interesting path, up and down a mountain. I love the stanza ‘at the top’, which appeals to all the senses. I hope we all get to the reward on the other side very soon.
