Our Friendship

Our ship has no crew
except me and you;
no hull and no keel
but the way that we feel;
no billowing sails
but our hearts that prevail;
nothing in the hold
except memories of gold.

Our ship is a friendship
built out of emotion
but as fine as any ship
that ever sailed the ocean
and though seas may get rough
and stormy, I think
our friendships strong enough
that it will never sink.

Some nice thoughts here. I was surprised by the change of rhyming scheme in the second stanza, but I especially liked the last two lines. Lovely. Bee

Thanks so much, Bee. I don't know why but, just as musicians make key changes, I sometimes feel the need to change to a different rhyme scheme or rhythm to accompany a poems change of tone. Glad you enjoyed it.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
