Tiny White Canoe

Beneath the hanging branches of the weeping willow trees. Along the winding river so very hard to see. On a lazy summer day floats a tiny white canoe. The water lapping at it's sides beats a soft tattoo. Cradled in it's center quite out of view. Lays a small Indian boy sound asleep named Cuc'koo. What a way to spend a sultry afternoon. Drifting into dreamland in a tiny white canoe. This poem is part of a series including Sunset Reverie, A Night of Dreams, Days End and An Evening by The Lake.

Friday the 13th is usually my luckiest day of the year. I'm not sure why. How young will you be this year? My B Day just past as I am a child of the spring when everything is pale green, colorful flowers fresh and new. May life make your heart as loving as your words. TLee
