Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Seven Gallant Arches

Midnight moonbows whet the lake;
Halo whirlpools swirl and swirl.
               A little boy’s paper boats
               Spur on his dreams, near and far.
               Set their course, they will find her
And in turn she’s christening
Panlike path of make believe.
