Juliet Ligon Poet Free verse

Paper Boat

Engineered to sail far
across Duck Pond's great beyond,
Daddy built my marine dream.
Through Seven Splashes she swayed,
calmed by swan songs and toad croaks,
lily pads and lotus blooms
when paper had strength of steel.

Andrea Dietrich May 20, 2020 at 6:34 PM wow, I LOVE this. I am thinking this one required either 7 word or 7 syllables per line. Anyway, it is free verse after all and it's very delightful. Juliet Ligon May 20, 2020 at 8:25 PM Thanks, Andrea for enjoying it. I didn't realize that one of my lines had 8 syllables. Thanks for pointing that out. I just changed it.
