Cottonwoods
Three cottonwoods sprinkle fairy dust
Over the sweating scouts
Skipping between tents
Coached by veteran crafters
Weaving sit-upons
Braiding lanyards
Knotting potholders
Often unsightly and useless

Love “ sweating scouts
Skipping between tents”
Beautiful rhythm and images! I especially loved the touch of humor in the final line.
What a surprise ending!
