Poem 75: Rain-Shoeing

Fearing the trail

We pave mental way

Psyching up minds 

For a rainy day

Scared to be cold

Yet rearing to go

We drive up mountain

And enter the snow.

Fastened with snowshoes

And covered in gear

In two-by-two pairs

We hike unaware

Suddenly someone

Has timely recall

Exchanging our run

For mountain-side crawl

Away from the road 

And up to the trail

Scott carrying a load

Of back-breaking scale

GPS leading

We soon did arrive

Rain-proof unaiding

The sky soaked our jive
