A much more poetic and funny version of my time out on the trail...any feedback on this would be nice! I wanted to try to create a funny story from my paranoid experience. Please let me know in which way I could improve on for this poem.

Thanks!
Ana 😘

10:04 AM

The sun was gorgeous shimmering through the trees
And the birds cheerfully chatted in the breeze
Map in hand, the reviews loved this place
But a few moments in, paranoia hit my face

Interconnecting trails not mentioned on the map
Looked on Google and squinted, "where is that?"
Found a lovely pond, but couldn't linger
Ridiculous loud noises trumpeting in anger

Couldn't see the turkeys
THANK GOD for WIFI
As I look up how to fight a bird with big, ass thighs
Booked it so fast as I constantly glanced around
For their feathers, and their tails, but everything was so brown!!

Took many photos but not for the scenery
Sent them to a group chat in case they needed to find me
Constantly glanced behind my shoulder
Looking and listening for creepers hiding in the forest

Sent my location once again
My maps didn't align with the trail map they gave
And the markers were faded if I ever saw them
As I walk ever so briskly, trying to get out of this place

The sounds of a plane gave me a bit of a relief
Knowing that civilization was not far away
As I continued to follow this path that I was on
Hoping it would take me back to the safety of my car

5 minutes later I checked my phone again
Realized with frustration that I'm not where I am
Even though I never deviated towards the deer trails
No matter how tempting it was to see where they went

Sighed in relief as soon as I spotted shiny metal
My steps slowing down, my heart now stable
The sun brightening even more as I stepped out of the trees
And I gladly nestled in the warmth of my seat

Though the trail map was not helpful
And the big birds gave me a scare
I want to come back, relaxed and more prepared
And next time, I'll bring my big dog, just in case

The turkeys are hilarious, and I can feel the rising and falling tension and conflict conveyed throughout this poem. I was expecting more from the lovely pond. Maybe that’s why the character wishes to return, and if so, will turkeys be waiting or something experientially different? The ending is perfect. I love the bright, warm, and other sensual elements. Five stars, Ana.
