Pairs

I am an antediluvian lone soul
Where does my life’s love roam?
I need it to board the boat
I need it to create home

I had to look up "antediluvian"; I love learning new words. If reworked, this would be an awesome piece. While I like the word "antediluvian", it creates a lot of problems with your prosody in this piece. If you are going to use it, I would omit "lone". I like the ideas of your last two lines, but the way they are worded isn't as strong as they could be. I would suggest an internal rhyme for line 3, like "Far to float aboard my boat" (or something like that). Also try reworking the last line :)

There are a lot of lone souls who are looking for a place to call home. Very creative. God Bless Phyl
