Weekend Mini Challenge: Boats
Welcome to the Weekend Mini Challenge with Kim from writinginnorthnorfolk.com!

Dream Boat
a little boat floated out to sea
a boat that carried you and me
it gently bobbed upon the waves
we played we were a couple knaves
without a worry, no thought or care
we journeyed forward, unaware
until the wind began to blow
and waves to monsters seemed to grow
it tossed us over and around
up in the air – we will be drowned
we clung together – you and me
then suddenly it set us free
it was the sound of mother’s voice
that gave the monster little choice
my bear and I will sail no more
our dream boat will remain on shore
Lovely that mother’s voice rescued the child from her bad dream.

That is so delightful, Candy – a little girl and her bear tossed on a nightmare. Well done, Mother, for coming to the rescue!

What a wonderful and sweet poem… I would have loved to see it illustrated. The voice reminds me of Tove Jansson (the creator of Moomin).
