Title; Day 1 September 3rd

Prose; The hum of the tires crackle on the gravel. I slowed and looked up to check the kayak, its bow extending to the front of the car. Mounted upside down, the kayak was riding the waves of dark clouds. I opened the window listening to the first drops of rain mixing with campers preparing dinner in conversation and the joyful laughs of the children.

Haiku; on waves of thunder / ripples the daytime moonlight / a cricket's song

Title; Day 2 September 4th
