The Boat

I recently attended a program on writing your life story in poetry. The assignment was to take a photo and write a poem about it. Here is my attempt.

Wooden Boat

Wooden boat; American flag flutters fully in the breeze.

Classic- Dad's pride and joy.

Touring the river, miles of water

Waving to friends at backyard barbeques.

Fishing crappies, sunfish, bluegills.

Three small children

Cane poles tangled.

Waterskiing-with big waves challenging

Splash!

Circle to pick up skier.

Smaller waves; skier upright.

Safely on shore.

A new generation enjoys.
