Teach Me To Row

TEACH ME TO ROW Boats resting on the shore, retired old. Hold tall tales of Father's minnow that got away. Teach me how to row slow please, Uncle Joe. Mom's kayak glides Sunset rides Us. Sponsor, Eve Roper Double Tetractys 9/5/2021

Thank you Gershon. Not one of my favorites. I'm happy that you liked it. It is written from memories and small experiences at our family's house on the lake in the Adirondacks when we were young.

Thank you, but each time I try to enter a contest from the "my poem pg" my name appears. Thank you for the nice compliment though. I'm touched. I enjoyed your poems too. I am the daughter of a Korean vet, the niece of a Viet Nam vet, and the stepdaughter of a navy seal.
