The Climbing Adventure

Climbing-climbing up the rock
through the woods, my hands are locked
on the rope so prickly-prickly
past the pine tree, tickly-tickly.

Climbing-climbing, higher-higher,
muscles feel like they’re on fire!
Through the dry leaves, rustle-rustle,
feel the wind push, hustle-hustle.

A long long way to the tippity top.
Hold on tight or flippity flop!
One foot here, then one foot there,
(wish steps in rocks were everywhere).

Huffing-puffing but not quite there.
Look out! There’s a grizzly bear!
Shhh-shhh use tippy-toes.
He’s turning now. See, there he goes!

Uh oh, snakes beside me, sliding-gliding!
Nowhere to go for hiding-hiding!
Danger-danger! I can see
the snakes are slithering after me,

but no, they’re going in the ground
through those holes going down-down
Oh no, growling-growling from behind!
If I turn, what will I find?

A grumpy-grumpy scary thing?
I wish I brought a bell to ring!
It’s getting dark and hard to see
the something else that’s chasing me!

Oh my gosh … I’m at the top.
I guess for now, I‘ll have to stop.
That was fun, I love pretending …
but I wish the stairs were
never ending!

Ha! When I was young I used to be forever climbing trees - some dangerously high. I pretended I was a character in Enid Blyton's 'The Enchanted Wood' and was climbing to see what land was at the top of the trees. Bless our imaginations!! Children need more encouragement to pretend and use their minds, it's more fun too :o)

CJ an important lesson here and also a wonderful poem of rhyme
"Oh my gosh … I’m at the top.
I guess for now, I‘ll have to stop.
That was fun, I love pretending …
but I wish the stairs were never ending!"

CJ, this may be your best children's poem EVER. It has the lilt, rhyme, and bounce that is loved by the kids. It shows the wonderful and unlimited imagination only children can muster. It shows you are the best children's poet who has been around for a long time. IMHO

Clever write and most enjoyable especially the twist at the end which makes for great poetry.

Reviewed on March 22, 2007
Ah, very witty ending - unexpected too:) For a while the reading had me translated to Burnham Wood, Dunkeld, Perthshire. I took my daughter in there years ago. Not so much a climb vertically, but horizontally through the forest and thickets till we near got lost.
Hmm, flight of stairs? I find stairs get steeper as I get older - and it is the same stairs too!

This poem would surely put a grin on a child's face - did mine.
