Sailboat - a Shape Poem

~ Sailboat, in ~~~ calm weather ~~ you are wasted but if the winds gust and howl you are hastened. ~ So I too, through adversity, ~~ am as you are indeed. For turbulence pulls taut the slackened lines of apathy, it fills torpid sails with purpose, and impels me to proceed. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Hello Jesse Rowe, it is nice to meet you. You brought back memories of me being on a sailboat with my neighbor in Wiarton Ontario. It was my first time. I enjoyed it. Have a nice evening my friend.
