New Poem - Camp Series - The Beautiful Leech

My muse has decided it’s time to add new poems to the camp series – so here is a new poem:

 

The Beautiful Leech

 

Dark green top

Red orange belly

About four inches long

More when it stretched out

 

Caught in the yucky deep

Kept in a #10 pickle can

By the boulder and choke cherry

Away from the squeamish

 

One excursion - the boys' camp

Tony's sleeping bag - the

'I'm not afraid of anything' bragger's

Screams heard for miles

 

Prearranged rescue by her own

Little brother - hero to Tony

Partner in leech's safe

Return to pickle can home

 

Dark green top

Red orange belly

About four inches long

More when it stretched out

 

A truly beautiful leech
