Chelsea P. Stone Poet Rhyme

My Little Lifeboat

My little lifeboat is sinking-
oh no, I spot a hole!
Which gets me to thinking
was it ever really whole?
The water is becoming rougher,
the port begins to crack.
Now it seriously suffers,
that straw broke the camel’s back.
The sea is very thirsty
and it needs its drink now,
my little lifeboat begs for mercy,
but the sea has made its vow.
I try to patch each problem
as if it can be mended,
because dying on the ocean’s bottom
was definitely not intended.
My little lifeboat made a mistake
and it is paying a hefty price.
I can hear my little lifeboat break
as I watch its beauty slice.
The sea swallows its victory
as a victor should
my little lifeboat knew its destiny
before I ever could.
