My Perfect Place
“I’d read your grocery list” challenge
Saturday: 7:10am:
- Salt and insect spray
Keep the leeches and mossies at bay… 😉
Emerald; ruby and yellow leaf litter rustles
and whip birds whistle.
Shimmering sunlight… liquid gold on crater lake,
As round the muddy, red trail, we lazily make.
- Crispy bread rolls and barbecue snags…
Great brekkie when our energy flags.
- Sunscreen and floppy hat…
Floating adrift, stroking, paddling… enjoying a leisurely chat.
- White chocolate, chips and Iced Coffee…
Accompany gripping novels ‘til the next rain scud causes us to flee.😳
Saturday: 15:23
- Soothing Aloe Vera…
Sometimes, sadly… there’s a price to pay…
For even the most relaxing, glorious day.🥹

This was such a creative way to describe your ideal day out, even if might not have ended ideally... 😅 Nice work!
Crater Lake is gorgeous. I am #pnw. Lovely descriptions and photo.
Very well done. Felt like I was there. And Crater Lake what a place to have as a favorite place. Loved the way the trees frame the foreground with the lake sitting in the background in the pic.
True. Just so true.
What a beautiful, dramatic and lyrical poem!
Beautifully done -Love the sense of place and the emotions it stirs and the ending made me smile. Always a darned price to pay! 🤍
Oh excellent approach to re-creating the atmosphere of this place! Stunning. I like how you used the prompt to wind such a sensory-heavy poem. It really works well!
Awww, they got sun burned! This was a brilliant story you told through a grocery list! I loved it!
Sounds like a wonderful place
