I'M Going To Sea On My Blueberry Boat

I thought,. I'm going to sea on my blueberry boat! Hoping to have fun and stay afloat I took my blueberry boat out to sea Filled with all my grown blueberries with me Thinking, in my travels how I will survive Eating healthy blueberries to stay alive The waves were rolling and getting high When, I saw another big boat going by To my surprise, a strawberry boat, filled to the brim! As we passed each other, my heart went out to him I sailed onward in the blue, open sea Eating my blueberries, as free as can be! Across the water in peace but alone, Traveling where the sun has shone When suddenly, the boat tipped with a hit Coming from a huge whale spouting with spit! Blueberries started flying all around Bouncing, rolling, pound by pound ! I found myself under a pile half squashed Stains everywhere, needing to be washed As I stood up on my feet, suddenly I saw red I realized strawberries were raining on me instead! The man in the strawberry boat had returned And, he hit the same huge whale, I learned He laughed when he saw me covered in blue But, couldn't see me blushing or my feelings too Now, both of us had very little to eat But it seemed not to matter, he was so sweet This is when the wonderful love story began In the middle of flying fruit, I met sweet Dan He knew how to fish, was more prepared than me Helping us survive our adventure on the sea! Of course, this story has to end on a happy note We lived happily ever after, then sailed often - On our new multi-fruit boat! - 9/14/19 *Entry for welcome to my random world oetry contest .

This was so much fun to read Heidi, so clever and creative. I love the two boats meeting and the captains falling in love. The funny thought I got while reading this with the blue and red mixing was I expected them to be "marooned" on an island. : ) Best wishes in the contest

LoL. That would have been nice marooned on the island. I wanted to keep going with the story, but then stopped abruptly, feeling like it was too long. Thank you for your positive feedback Chris :)
