Andrea Dietrich Poet Fibonacci

Notes About The Poem

The Faraway

I 
am
a boat –
glass-bottomed.
Released to the sea,
I drift dreamily with the tide.
Finding my will’s strength, I float myself to warm waters.
Life beneath me flashes brilliantly; I’m captured and enraptured by the faraway.

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 30, 2017 at 4:09 PM I love the poem, Andrea. And I like that boat you described ... reminds me of the tourist boats in Mexico, where you can see the coral life thru the glass bottom of the boat. Excellent Fibonacci. L & P ~ always.
