Of Ships and Such Although our ships born skin and bone The difference is, not that alone Each generation sails a sea Of time into eternity We grow towards, a purity A scale that weights, maturity Each mind a leaf upon a tree That lives a sort of fantasy We are a link within a claim And though the links are not the same We make the pattern of the all Although to us we seem so small Each one a part of growth it seem And though to each it seem a dream We siphon through a rift in time Although we cannot feel the rhyme And form is not the object here Our form may even disappear |

Although our ships born skin and bone Each generation sails a sea We grow towards, a purity A scale that weights, maturity Each mind a leaf upon a tree We are a link within a claim We make the pattern of the all We siphon through a rift in time Although we cannot feel the rhyme And form is not the object here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sy, Sy, Sy...Im so loving the metaphor and personification here...and so many lines laced with your wisdom... I had to highlight them above so that they could each shine in their own light... and this one.... Each mind a leaf upon a tree ya get extra winkies for that one.  and as for this one... Although we cannot feel the rhyme Oh... YOU feel the rhyme...and so do we when we read your cadenced couplets of way cool.  *ww*  |

~ and when our form does disappear, we say, "Boo!" Please excuse my silliness. I'm in one of my tehe moods!  That was a very lovely sonnet with a bonnet on it! Oh, oh, there I go again! ~ Sending you some sugar and spice And something naughty but nice! EO ~ the Earthy One |

"We are a link within a claim And though the links are not the same We make the pattern of the all Although to us we seem so small" Sy, this resonates with me! ....jo |
