Soggy Sneakers

Squishing in the mud
running up the stream
over hill and dale
through the verdant fields
the cross-country course
under the azure sky

Racing in the woods yesterday
soggy sneakers sitting
up on the floor waiting
for the hill climb still to come
the state meet this weekend

October Three Rivers School
cross-country meet
at Kearsarge Regional Middle School
