Poem Artwork

In vain I have tried to repair

My old tub, my leaky boat,

Which brought me

A while ago some thalers.

The planking has already

Gotten deformed

And is about to lay itself out

Until the bottom rots through.

 

From now on, no more

Bottom water, no more

The moon's disc smiling at me

From underneath

My ankle-deep limbs.

So, I am back to square one

In my attempt to cross

The stream of life, . . unwetted.

I had a boat like that once that I made. It is wonderful how our lives, as well, suffer such a fate. And I'm really sorry that your bottom is rotting out and that you are leaking just like this old boat of mine. ;-)

Good stuff, poet.

You old boat, you. Don't want to get wet. Now this is my kind of poem, laying out the basics with some fine imagery. And a poem that's true as well. I liked this especially. John

Go ahead, take the plunge ... you'll love it. But of course, you already have, haven't you? Excellent!
