White Water Rafting Remembrances
A poem of memory fragments of a white water raft trip.

Costa Rican river
Six-person rubber raft
Helmets and life preservers
Into the current, easy paddling
Sound of roaring waters
White foam ahead
Anticipation and excitement
Current quickens
Pulse quickens
Raft dips and rises
Churning white water surrounds
Holy Cow!
Paddle! Paddle harder!
Lean in, avoid the rock
Paddle for all you’re worth!
Water over the sides
Water washing over you
Speeding out of control
Oh, God!
Heart-pounding exhilaration
Grimacing from the effort
The water is master
The raft rises and falls
Fight for control
Paddle!
What a wild ride!
The current slackens
Paddle harder!
Back under control
Calm water
Drifting with the flow
Whew!
Laughter, smiles all around
That was great!
Bring on the next set of rapids…
