Poets are like cruises -
Poets have a tendency to overpack
Their pen with too many outfits of meter
And rhyme and forget to leave room for free verse.
Poets are like cruises -
Some announce their arrival with great fanfare,
But the biggest doesn't mean that it's the best
Or that the stabilizers will always work.
Poets are like cruises -
One never knows what kind of waters they'll have
Or if their pen will have an oceanside view
Or if they'll reach their final destination.
Poets are like cruises -
Spending a lot of dough does not guarantee
You a seat at the Captain's table or give
Increased odds of winning at the Casino.
Poets are like cruises -
Good ones try different forms at the buffet,
Don't overeat and become bloated with praise -
And ALWAYS bring back souveniers for their friends.
Poets are like cruises -
One doesn't know if their readers will get sick
Or if there will be a disaster at sea -
That is a chance the Poet will have to take.
(c) 2005, Karla Dorman.

| The longest cruise I took is when my motor died out about 50 miles once when fishing...drifted around for awhile till the Coast Guard showed up, thankfully...I think that poets drift around alot in a torrent of rough water...but end up like you have of late, becoming great poets...Ed |

Very clever write, Karla...while on a cruise and in the poetic realm, it is always a good idea to take a break and enjoy a bit of different scenery and cuisine at a port of call. Sometimes it helps us to broaden our horizons when we write...great message.
Take care,
Sherry
