Morse Mountain Sonnets

At this site please post your original sonnet written about our recent field trip to Morse Mountain Conservatory.  I have posted mine..read on.

Morse Mountain—A Moist Adventure

 

The forecast said, “clouds, overcast, drizzle”

Layer with cotton and fleece was suggested

We had no expectation of a sizzle

Yet, downpouring rain was not requested

On our way we saw vernal pools galore

The study of nature through experiments

Even a scavenger hunt on the shore

Did not produce much student merriments

Seeing trees with blossoms so plentiful

Rare lichen, some moss and flowers divine

Ladies slippers, pine blossoms bursting full

Greenery everywhere, favorite of mine

A shift of pace from inside the school

Made for fun, even in the damp and cool
