Sorry for the late post today. I've had family visiting from Ohio the last few days, and they were all leaving this morning. So, you know, us Brewers can take our time saying our good-byes and getting things together and everything. ;)

For today's prompt, I want you write a poem about a memory. The memory can be good or bad. The memory can be a blend of several memories. I suppose it could even be a memory that you're not sure you remember correctly. Take your time finding a good one (or good ones).
Here's my attempt for the day:
"Climbing Stone Mountain"
First, we found the park;
then, we found the parking lot.
Next, we caught the trail;
then, we caught our breath.
She was afraid to look in;
I was afraid to look out.
The wind was cold on top;
the sun was warm at the bottom.
