Paper Boat

Every life tells a story
Who writes the one?
Did I say I am a writer?
Do I write words, just Words?
I write on paper
Make o boat of write
The boat sets off in a pail
I smile at my life
And then
I laugh at me
Is that life?
What an absurd comparison of
A rope with a snake
Where is life?
Where is breath?
Where is movement?
Where is it
In a pail???
Or out in the ocean

Neetu,, love the opportunity to live within a story, that breathes and sails away with the comparisons of the ocean, ,, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will get much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your verse. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile, others passed, when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your compositions. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT

Hi! I am Neetu. Who am I? This question is very difficult to answer. Well! If you insist, let me reveal. I am a human and like every other human I eat, sleep, drink, dance, sing, laugh, smile, cry and so on. Hang on! There is a difference. Unlike most of the human beings, I breathe and when I breathe, I relax. When I am relaxed, I draw. I draw sketches of me in words. I have been orbiting around sun for forty years now. I started this journey on the Valentine day of 1974.
