Boat

The water surface calm and still, I row my boat upon the lake, And pull my oars with practiced skill. In ripples with the strokes I make, My own refection watches me. Alone out there, I am really free. * In my imagination on my rowing machine, LOL

Rereading this one. It sure is a good one, Jack. And yes, all the old poems nobody can see anymore. It really disappoints me. I used to read the really old ones of my friends for whom I could find no new poetry to see!!

There really is a sense of freedom as well as being one with the universe when you are on the water. It offers a chance to appreciate nature. You wrote a lovely poem and then made me crack up when I read your note at the end. Bad boy! Punishment is due. Thanks again for the DVDs. I'm taking them on the road with me. I wonder if they would play on my laptop? I do think my friends would enjoy seeing them too. Love, Carolyn

That's so cool jack...I exercise by myself as well and I too find it necessary to imagine a grander scenario then the monotony that comes with jogging in the city
