Caren, you are too kind! ... but I'm glad you liked the poem --- I was dithering about throwing it away ... had messed with it for a while, trying to get the lines arranged better, the rhythm more regular, and then after a while it seemed too sing-song to me ... here's the earliest version:
The Massanutten Trail is one of gaps: Shawl Gap; Veach Gap; Sherman, Milford, Habron Gaps. Notches in the ridgeline, where valley meets hill, Saddles that join land and sky, voids and clefts, Betweens ... Crevasses among the tumbled boulders; |
better, I really think, are Face Plant and Rock Creek Valley Trail from 2004 ... but I (or we!) really should try to work out some more poetry --- maybe during an upcoming long run? ... ^z
