Jesse Rowe Poet Shape

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.

Darlene De Beaulieu July 26, 2018 at 6:29 PM 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.
