Making Memories | River Rhythms
Taking photos and making memories with friends and family is a staple of summertime. Add to that special occasion, awesome vacation, family reunion or unplanned visit with a personalized poem. Here are the memories shared by my husband Jim and his fellow “river rats” on a recent adventure on the Green River in Desolation Canyon.
Through Desolation Canyon
which we simply call “Deso”
with the rhythms of the river
on the water we did flow
Jim a novice river rat
gave rough rapids a happy name
Fluffy Bunny Slipper Rapids
kept him in the paddling game
Art with his great good-humor
and his camping/boating expertise
met someone who lives a Day at a Time
and for that he was truly pleased
Kathy a true river lover
remembers a coyote friend
and enjoyed the hike to Rock Creek
watching the river below round the bend
Rina recalls big rapid days
and the buzzing of mosquitoes in her ear
sleeping under a full moon and shooting stars
and eating more brownies than she had all year
Sherie got to kayak again
and the animal stuff was her thrill
from the nesting birds called Vireos
to the fresh made cougar kill
Jake brought his youth and vigor
which was handy for heavy lifting
We all enjoyed his calm presence
like the river while we were drifting
And bringing us all together, Dennis
our gratitude for him is beyond measure
for a fabulous Deso river trip
that we all will dearly treasure
