We had paddled all morning,
So we ground our boats on the nearest land,
And stopped for a break.
We gathered what dry sticks and leaves
We could find,
Built a bonfire,
Put our kettle over it,
Made a cup of tea,
And spent an hour
In civilised conversation.

Very cool. I really appreciate the simplicity of your expression; yet it still has such substance.
Thank you so much for your observation Kimberly – I don’t believe poetry has to be complicated!
