Lake Minchumina by Sidney Isom (Age 10)



There are lynx,
their paws padding on the forest floor.
Black bears towering above me.
Mosquitos humming,
buzzing by my ear.
The chirping of the young fledglings,
like a song of peace.
The fresh toasty waffles,
and the juicy, mouth watering spam,
like they are more,
than the best thing in the world.
I smell the silent burning firewood,
It's smoke drifting upward.
I walk outside and feel the dew dipped grass,
wave between my toes.
And those crackling leaves that crunch beneath my feet.
There,
in Minchumina,
I am very happy.

Too cute! Good job SIdney! I can't believe how fast time goes by and how big Sid is. I love the poem and she will be so grateful you posted that later in life.
