Strawberry Camping

photo by Robin Frenette

Like gypsies with their homes piled into caravans of Are We There Yet
Hearts on wheels waltz through woods and burst with
tarps, tents, canopies, chairs, tables, tapestries
Camp Believe It, Camp Believe It’s Not Butter, Campelot, Camp Escape, 
where to camp? Camp With Us 
old friends greet new friends, we speak Berry
frying pans sizzle pancakes, quesadillas, bacon, wanna waffle?
Mud.
Hog’s on the radio, kids on their bikes, program’s over…there 
Bocce ball, where’s my hat? Night fall, did you see that?
Gotta catch Sam, porta potty slam
Banjos, guitars, mandos, sitars, Happy All-Hours
Strawberry Jam – thick, sugary and spread all over
that smiling face of yours.
Sweet.
