No Signal Poem by JJ Evendon

A mountain trail disappears up into cloud
the walk would take many an hour.
A storm is coming, so I leave early before it's too late
looking forward to reaching the summit to celebrate.
The climb is long, arduous and slow
feel winter's coat coming, see a few flakes of snow.
Stop for a drink and take delight in eating some cake
sitting in peace besides a small shallow lake.
On a ledge overlooking the valley far below
I'm overcome by a sudden urge - but where to go?
Relief comes from a stream that arches through the air
to then gracefully fall away on something that I was not aware.
Suddenly, a loud roar and crashing was heard
followed by a flight of startled birds.
I quickly turn to see what was there
when what emerges from behind a bush, a great big grumpy bear.
An angry bear whose hair was wet and out of place
and was very upset for wee now covered his face.
As soon as he saw me, he started to run
and if I didn't move quickly, I would surely be done.
So I grabbed my bag and sought refuge up a tree
before his sharp claws and teeth could take a piece of me
I tried to call for help but phone says 'NO SIGNAL'
now I'm stuck and in desperate need of another tinkle!
