Notes About The Poem

Boe the Eskimo - Nursery Rhyme - Story

Boe the Eskimo
There is a little Eskimo named Boe
He loves to play on the ice and the snow
One day as he played on the ice, it cracked
Boe, in shock knew the odds against him were stacked.

Along came a kindly turtle called Jack
He said "I'll show the way, climb on my back"
So Boe jumped on board and off the two zoomed
What adventures they had as their friendship bloomed.

Boe saw sea creatures he'd not seen before
Marine plants aglow on the ocean floor
They danced with dolphins who move gracefully 
Twisting and turning to sounds of the sea.

Then they spied large sharks coming at full speed
Both of them were awfully scared indeed
Their two hearts beating alike frenzied drums
Afraid of finishing up in sharks tums.

Suddenly Boe awoke from a dream
Ma and pa rushed in when they'd heard Boe scream
Boe said from now he'd do as he was told
When out playing on ice, he'd not be so bold.

Michael Ellis April 15, 2021 at 11:33 AM Honored to have stopped here to read about an Unforgettable Eskimo. I like the AABB format but it never comes off forced. Your words flow naturally and adults of all ages will love your adventures. I place this treasure in the read ten times category. I only wish you would have rhymed the last line as you did to keep your scheme going as opposed to the slant rhyme. Still a beautiful story.. Goodnight Jack and Boe..See you in dreams Beryl Edmonds April 15, 2021 at 12:11 PM Thank you Michael, I see what you mean and will work on what is wrong. It’s good to get constructive feedback such as this and I do appreciate it. Belle... (Ps - Now edited)
