Christine had a lovely post for National Poetry month and she’s inspired me to come up with a poem and picture. So I’ve spent a wonderful evening reading lots of poems and reminiscing with some of my travel photography. Here’s what I chose:
‘Twas such a little boat — little boat by Emily Dickinson
‘Twas such a little — little boat
That toddled down the bay!
‘Twas such a gallant — gallant sea
That beckoned it away!
‘Twas such a greedy, greedy wave
That licked it from the Coast —
Nor ever guessed the stately sails
My little craft was lost!
*Djupivogur, Iceland, 2009
C’mon, now it’s your turn!

Great choice, and I love the pic, Iliana! It’s beautiful! 🙂
Oh wow, I need to read Emily Dickson then. And…
‘Twas such a b’ful, b’ful pic
That took my breath away 🙂
Love it! It made me laugh and I am not sure that it was supposed to. I am not really into poems and perhaps I should read more.
Love it! The pic and the poem. Emily rocks!
What a wonderful idea. I love it. feel free to add it to my Mr. Linky for National Poetry Month! And spread the word to others celebrating National Poetry Month
Love that poem and your photo!
Hello Everyone – I’m glad you are enjoying the poem. Isn’t Emily wonderful? I’ve been reading more of her poems today. She does rock! 🙂
