This poem is about a vacation in the rural Virginia middle peninsula in the mid 1960's and the simple joys of growing at that time and the fun that me and my sisters had. This poem is in my poetry book "The Journey Through My Life".

                                    MILK CARTON SAILBOAT
 
                        
                                    When we used to go visiting
                               
                                    My grandparents country home
 
                                    In Virginia at Wake Landing
 
                                    My three sisters
                                     
                                    And of course myself
 
                                    Took coated milk cartons
 
                                    And made little sails
 
                                    So that it would float
 
                                    And we would go down the hill
 
                                    Then to the end of the pier
 
                                    And we would have a thrill
 
                                    Put our sailboat into the water
 
                                    We would just shrill
 
                                    Seeing it sail in the rippling river
