There once was another limerick thread
With many attempts embeded
They were so divine
You might say real fine
To augment the ones here instead

Find the LIGHT STUFF at QiWiz.net
The lightest cathole trowels, wood burning stoves, windscreens, spatulas,
cooking options, titanium and aluminum pots, and buck saws on the planet
They blazed it pure white
I came I saw I coloured
Now get over it

by the waterside I will rest my bones
listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul." Grateful Dead
Great Oz! I can't get over it. Absolutely epigrammatic!

Now we talk about Aficion
Who has a poetic affliction
Oh how fun to play
With rhymes to say
But now must work on his diction
Think when talking, do not put the brain in neutral but keep it engaged

the sun and I will soon
rear our wondrous heads anew
cabbage in the garden
wet man walking quick
dripping clothes skin shining pale
end not nearing soon
the roots and rocks are hell
do you really think I fell?
they took me down
right to the ground
how many times I cannot tell.
I long to sleep in my tent
Oh how many nights and money would be spent
When I hike the "Trail"
And complete without fail
But spend the money I save on my rent

A couple I wrote on my thru this past year:
New Jersey:
While hiking today I saw a bear,
Although, it was just sitting there.
Not in a bush or up in a tree,
It was plopped down right on the AT!
I banged my poles and shouted real loud,
The bear looked at me and stood up proud.
It looked me in the eye and said with a grin,
“Would you like some berries, my thru-hiker friend?”
New York:
Swamps and mosquitoes are nothing but ****,
New York, I wish you were put on a ship,
I’d sail you off to Germany or Turkey,
And feed you nothing but ramen and jerky.
I hope the next state will be better,
Dear Appalachian Trail, forgive this harsh letter.
Did you have any words for Pennsylvania?
ive got oneDid you have any words for Pennsylvania?
rocks,rocks,rocks,rocks,rocks.
rocks,rocks,rocks,rocks,rocks,rocks,rocks,
finally ,jersey!!
Pretty much sums it up as far as I can remember!
Any time I start thinking about if I ever want to thru-hike, I think about PA and go..."no".
fireballs in the sky
Orionids shooting by
entitled to look
seeing needs blessing
looking, like fishing, takes time
serendipity rules
neither phile, nor phobe.
all the people of the globe
enjoy providence
the moon is new
the sky is dark
I'm glad I'm not
on Noah's ark
With wolvwerines
and badgers too
who knows what they
might do to you
I'm glad to be
in this sweet sphere
with internet
and decent beer.
Fond PA MemoriesDid you have any words for Pennsylvania?
Tumbling Run and Chimney Rocks
Junker's Bunker, stinky socks
Pool at Caledonia Park
and Ice Cream at the half-way mark
"Maybe life isn't about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it's about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it."
Wait till you do the northern half and you'll change your tune
I wanted to moon the whole state of PA when we finally crossed over into NJ.
