Future Sailors
Future sailors
'tis ev'ry little boy's fancy
sweeping -n- soaring
amongst celestial clouds
captaining a schooner
ferried upon ferocious
dragon wings,
boy and beast, both
strapping -n- strong
together facing
fantastical feats
of fantasy straight from
folklore -n- fairytales
but courage
for now 'tis spied
b'side gentle riverbed
or winking night light.
