Li'L Odyssey

one early morn packed a lunch for him 'n me bent on escaping bored ennui / map in hand for odyssey \ / a thermos of hot chai tea \ / my cat sitting on my knee \ /____________________________\ /set out on my rowboat across the sea\ / where the winds were wildly flying free \ / left behind a world of folly and anxiety \ row to seek out whimsy and serenity and row boat if I’m lucky a bit of absurdity boat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not only a shape poem, but a monorhyme as well. Such craft went into this, love the couple in the rowboat and the romantic adventure behind the write ~ John

Is your boat sinking? A bit of absurdity is good for the soul. ;0)
