A Poem Entitled ´Roncesvalles to Larrasoaña´ by Melissa ´the Pilgrim´Geere

Woke up today
Thinking ´27k?´
I really don´t want to walk that today

So off we went
And by áll descent´
I really don´t know what our relief map meant

But wonderful views
Canadian girl blues
Her pack was too heavy and her feet were too bruised

Progress was slow
A snakes by Jules´toe
How we manged without peanut butter I don´t know

Blackberry-full
Lunch watched by bulls
Suspicious red splashes on our hostel walls

The warden- a frown
The hostel- tumbledown
The pilgrims- all cheerful and talking all round

Wine- one euro paying
Rock music was playing
Pilgrims all chatting and laughing- not praying!

Spirituality
Religion, morality
Discussing with pilgrims of all nationality

On the camino
And why? Only he knows
A Dutchman called Roland carrying 23 kilos

Tomorrow, he joins us
Which can only be a plus
And now I must log out for sleep is a must

Melissa
