At the remote campground
Besides the tranquil, deep blue lake
Amid the cool, gray mist
Beyond the reach of noisy civilization
Underneath a blanket of stars
On a canoe cruising calmly on the water
Towards completing another merit badge and advancing up a rank
Yes!
Beautifully done, Kevin. Your imagery puts us in the scene, where we can feel the air, sense the quiet, and see the stars. I’d like to read more of your poetry here. Is there a merit badge for writing?!
I thought this blog post was great! I can imagine this scene in my head and I can feel how much you enjoy Boy Scouts. I hope you keep earning merit badges!
