Poets In a Boat

We are all poets In the same boat The reason we write Just to stay afloat There's no other reason Of that I know For us as poets To stay afloat So draw the anchor Hoist the sail We'll all rhyme our way Clear outta here Sailing the pantoum oceans With the sonnet seas Casting our lot In the poetic breeze Steering riddling rudders Across verses in waves Until the very last day We're made to walk the plank As we are all poets In the same boat Trying our best Just to stay afloat

Your verse gets verse then better and better! Love it, my friend!! Play on words, of course, because that's what us poets do!
