Paperboat

Folded once, again in line Scraping with great claws of fate Bended, flattened and then when stretched to life, my paper boat Ready for sail, crew of dreams Gusts of wind in sweeping sea Till paper torn, we will flee. Second Place in BRIAN'S CHOICE H,any form,any theme Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

We may be paper torn but paper can be so resilient, watch how it floats despite the fear, loved it, xo

I read your nostalgic poem with glee My DAd used to make these boats for me at this time of trouble and strife Your poem brought back memories of a more simple life, Thank you Jenish your poem warmed my heart I loved its sentiment from the start All best wishes to you from me and for the paper boat a calmer sea ...
