I get caught up in the excitement of sailing when there’s a gale blowing … or the joys of slopping around, dreaming, watching clouds drift by when there’s no wind … Here’s a piece of, appropriately enough, tumbling rhyme …
we can float
in any kind of boat
while wearing a coat
on a moat
though I vote
and you can quote
me if you like
that riding a bike
or taking a hike
over a dike
would certainly strike
me as less expense
and make commonsense
though providence
loses magnificence
before the suspense
when halyards seize
and sailors trapeze
in stormy seas
The Willow Tree Girl for ages 7-11 … Weston doesn’t miss a beat as she untangles past and present, ghosts, missing treasure, and her heroine’s longing for success.

Look at the see. Then observe the madness of sea.
Thanks, Melanie, for re-blogging. And it all depends on what you see when you’re at sea.
