Little Blake Lake

This almost got lost on my desk.

Henny took a creative writing class and wrote this about Sidetrack for a rhyming poem assignment. She sent it to Cindy, who sent it to Laurie, who sent it to me at spring solstice time.

I'll print and frame it for the wall, but it belongs here as well as well.

Poem for Creative Writing

Vacation time calls
What plans should we make
Go on a trip
Or relax at the lake?

The whole world is waiting
to dazzle our eye
We read the brochures
"Come see us," they cry.

We think of the travel
Be it car, train, or plane,
and we know all the planning
Will drive us insane.

The cabin is peaceful,
In pines near the lake,
the birds would be calling
as we would awake.

The packing is easy
the drive North is short.
No crowds to upset us
at station or port.

So soon we agree
Back to nature 'twill be
Refreshing and simple
For you and for me
