Sara Kendrick Poet Roundel

Notes About The Poem

Ships Sail

Down where magnolia blossoms white

Summer breezes touch wind chime's scales

Lovers sleep soundly in the night


                     Time flies, ships sail   

On a downhill slide that can't contrail 

Life lived mostly in fight or flight

So nice to enjoy a summer's tale


Close to the creek the breeze delights

Dream dreams, and fantasy build then exhale

Expedite change from pyrite to gold bright

                       
                       Time flies, ships sail
