UP TO THE TOP
Just a mound
Climbing to the top
Pointing up
Safer to zig zag
Back and forth
Takes longer
The race began
Each starting at different
Point from the bottom
Of the butte
Falling over little
Pebbles
Earth loose, avalanche
Slipping down
Some racers tumble
Slide down
Restart
Finally
A winner
Reached the summit
Not the strongest
But the weakest
Determination
Strong will
No trophy, no prize
Just the fulfillment
Knowing the
Ant could do it
SKYWARD
Point to the stars
Not the constellations
All stars in the sky
Use your imagination
See a smiley face
A sad one
Crying shooting stars
Find the fingers
Stretch from
A hand
Tree branches reaching out
Cluster of leaves
Make out fruits
Apples, peaches
Mountains, Valleys
House with smoke
Coming out the
Chimney
Look up
Point to the stars
Not the constellations
All stars in the sky
Use your imagination
TRAVELING
Place a map upon
The wall
Throw a dart
See where it lands
Be adventurous
Travel to unknown
Places
Avoid tourist
Traps
See the world
Not as a sightseer
But a native
Learn the culture
Mingle with
Common folks
Learn some languages
Show your interest
In learning
Participate in
Actives
Taste different
Foods
Then go home
Till the next
Dart throwing point
