Notes About The Poem

Stormy Memory

Grandpa's miniature toy boat
I borrowed the vintage to float
Down the slope full of rain
Oops gone down a storm drain
Lucky Gramps didn't go for my throat

Hi Line, I can just imagine your Gramps face when you had to tell him what had happened - a very vivid short story - congratulations on your win in this fun contest! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
