Andrew Fairchild Poet Sapphic stanza

Water - Overwhelmed - Sapphic Stanza

Peter dove in, waves all upheaving, raging
Sure as blind eyes always are, never doubting
Saving Sandra, fallen in, shouting, blurping,
Sandra saved Peter!

Caren Krutsinger March 2, 2019 at 5:29 AM This reminds me of my favorite things. The Paper Bag Princess, a book, and Mulan, my ut-most favorite all time Disney movie! Thank you so much! Andrew Fairchild March 2, 2019 at 10:54 PM Now, I will have to read the Paper Bag Princess. I have seen Mulan, and love it, too! Thank YOU so much for your kind words!

Andrea Dietrich March 1, 2019 at 9:09 PM I think it's so clever how you are using themes of "bad feelings" to go with the elements. Love "overwhelmed" here as the symbolic feeling for water. Andrew Fairchild March 2, 2019 at 10:54 PM Thanks! Overwhelmed is what I would feel, if I fell in to a raging sea.

P.S. Awtry February 28, 2019 at 3:53 PM Poor Peter meant well! :) Andrew Fairchild February 28, 2019 at 3:56 PM He did! ;-)
