Quadrille 124
Knot

❧✿❧

Quadrille - knots
Lanyards on uniforms blue,
That's the way i remember, camp fire songs;
Nights under stars we hadn't a clue,
Those days we did belong;
Affirmations like 'be prepared'
Tying  clove hitch,  slip,  and friendship knots,
We sang life, caregivers cared,
They charted our dots.

    I do remember those camps as well... I was a scout as a kid, and knots were so important.

    I was a guide and practised knots, but I never went to camp. Nicely done, Gillena!

    Good memories for many. I'm sure there was much more to learn in tying those knots than the obvious skills. I think patience would be one.

    Sounds like carefree days of kinship with girl scouts. Those uniforms and dots checked off were the gravy :)

    I enjoyed your poem with the memories of childhood and the way those lessons inform us as “grownups”.
