ode to Oregon

after a week of backpacking in Oregon, i feel thankful. thankful enough to write a poem in OR's behalf...

swaying pine trees circle 'round the lake
hiking up and down your mounts is no piece of cake
i will miss your snow-capped peaks and raging rivers
remembered time in your forest still make me shiver(s)

with love to Oregon,
from Merilee. :)
