I like your inspirational flow here. I too like to take a picture and write what first comes to mind. Yes, there is always a good story or question behind every picture.
Thanks for sharing your work Kate.

I still contend that with a redwood approach deck, wheels on it to transport it to different locales, no vessels anchored in proximity, and more, perhaps, Scots Pine Trees or Poderosa's proliferating all around, that this would be quite the romantic place for a writer to pursue her visions.

Paul needs someone to find him new buddies, and you can keep us out of mischief... Hey Paul down there do yer think a toff could handle it though?

Your work might sometimes glean inspiration from that of others--as most of us sometimes do--but the bold deep dive you take into creative waters and the treasures you bring back are always distinctly, brilliantly, and beautifully your own. This glittering gem no exception:-)

i've packed my life preserver ;)

What better way to have a party than upon water with my closest peers. I think we'd need the Queen Mary though.Count me in. I want to see you and Sage and all the fun people...can we make the maiden voyage? party time. I'll bring the mint juleps too Miss Kate.
Susan

Sweettttt dear Kate and I know if it was me had to answer that what the answer would be, park the hog and pop a wheelie here I come. lol

Whatever floats your boat, Kate, DO IT!!! Yes I do believe I could live with you there...have to start fermenting the elixir in the amphorae now...it should be ready in six months...stretch a balloon over the top of the jug and when it blows up and pops, the vino is ready for the party! I'll pour yours first, it doth have a kick-ass bite that'll take ya outta debt and bear it, wear it, help it or hack it, it'll sure cure what ails ya. Blessed Be, my trolly girl

Sage

Yup! what's an alternative hobby? lol ;) ...if Tink's is bringing Amarula I'm deffo coming...I shall bring my natural wit and charm LOL, and my propensity to drink copious amounts without falling over. Best bring a life jacket just in case.

Paul;-)

I think you presented it in case form and intrigue very thought provoking poetry.Thank You :)

Kate

I believe you going to be a major counter attraction to our very own DPS Ghost Ship Cruise with Dead Poet and all the other distinguished and notable participants..

Maybe we could organise a double whammy guest list...invitation only ...hehehe

Peter

if you build it they will come;-)lol I'm there in a flash especially with my new Trike;-)stolen from you know who...hehehe...This is my nephews dream. Went looking at houseboats with him last year. EGADS! some are opulent (both looks and price;-) They really have become a favorite and there's a style to please everyone...Are you really buying?...whatever have a ball, with it all...

Wow!! This is gonna be some party!! :)) Dove is obviously thinkin about it, Chelle, can you see Andy in the cage on the deck there??... 'sgot a couple of Doberman in it, but hell yeah... he's on a choke-chain with me in charge! :)) Tinka - welcome, Honey, and bring on the Amarula.... wot IS that??!! Richard, well... hmmmm, havin had an alcoholic father, guess I kinda know what you mean, so perhaps we'll waive that thought for now and Jerry... haven't yet scrolled up or down but Poole Harbour is maybe preferable to Swampboy territory... the crocs are friendly over here!! Anyone else?! I kinda LIKE this community spirit... This little boat will surely ROCK!! This is turning into some housewarmin... and YEY!! Have just heard that our offer HAS been accepted on a patch of turf close-by... so pipedream no longer, folks!! MEGA-WHOOPEE!! Come October, I'll be there... and so will all of you, too, by the sounds of it! ALRIGHT!! :)) K xxOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

LOL-I liked that add-on at the end-I am forever saying things that get taken the wrong way, I think because my brain is so scattered! Your words and the cozy look of the boat makes the reader really want to be there. Thanks for your comments on my poem, I can tell you know Andy well, lol! It's like you knew exactly what I mean, lol-thanks for keeping him straight over there and reminding him how much i love him-love, Michelle

Oh I have a bad habbit of answering questions myself...because only I know the answer at the end...lol!!

Great job...hey I could live with that...and with you on that boat...can only be fun,fun,fun!!

Love Tinka

What a cozy and beautiful little love boat which I'm sure you would have no one saying no to your invite.

Funny, either I come to live there or you come to live here . . .
