Write a body of water poem. (e.g. Mississippi, Pacific, Dead Sea)
I would love to go steamboatin’
on the Mississippi River.
A cruise with some blues,
and a jazz group playing.
Eat some southern cooking,
then stand outside and watch
the paddlewheel turn, but
not take a swim. The Big
Muddy has currents too strong
within. I will have a southern
cocktail–Mint Julep, Sazerac.
Two would likely land me
on my back. My stateroom
awaits for a quick snooze.
Then I hear the blues band
tuning up. Oh, how I would
love to go steamboatin’
the the Mississippi.
A shared bucket list item.
