Paper Boats
by R. Steven Reynolds

Sunday, October 01, 2006
Rated "G" by the Author.

What every author dreams his work will be ...

There’s a great way to traverse the entire universe
Paper boats will transport you wherever you please
Next door, across the galaxy, places quite diverse
Foreign lands or adventure on the seven seas

Covered pennings that paint pictures in your mind
Creations that enlighten the mind and the soul
Tales from the past, present and future of mankind
Talking leaves that you experience and control

 

Paper boats floating along a river of dreams
Offering other realities and new places
Myriads of concepts with a bounty of themes
Printed syllabary erecting knowledge’s staircases

Open the binding, live the words and take a trip
Journey wondrous word ways aboard a paper boat
Steer a masterly course sailing the author’s ship
Guided by the talking leaves so lovingly wrote.

Wow! this really brought back a flood of memories, as a little girl my cousins and I...we made paper boats to sail down the creek that flowed by our houses. We would use newspapers and what we called the sale papers, twigs, and sometimes popcycle sticks. Oh the places that we explored...wonderfully written, I loved this one. You've brougth a smile to my lips and a fond memory to my heart.

Blessings,
Joyce Bowling
