Notes About The Poem

The Boat of Us

Listen to poem:
The Boat Of Us 'Twas a few years back, I remembered that, When we had both placed our down payment checks, At first we did not know which one, in fact, We chose, then placed our personal effects, They gave us our berth's, 'twas but side by side, When we went fishing, our haul equaled both, We filled our nets till we were satisfied, Held separate jobs, together lost hope, Long have we parted, until that storm hit, My boat had adrift, could not make it start, You came and towed us but the line had split, I gave up my boat, got on yours was smart, Home safe, next day, on the beach our boat sat, 'Twas a few years back, I remembered that. 2019 May 14 *1st Place* Choices ~~Sara Kendrick #1

Mines was an early entrant, ergo, very raw, straight-off-the-hip, not much forethought with the nuances and particulars of being articulate in its delivery--but 'tis the message contained.
