Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Boat Ride

Invited by friends to go on

A boat ride I say, "Yes, why not."

Since I went blind I have not gone

Boating which I once liked a lot.

Of course, my companion, Joe, goes

With me in taking this boat ride.

We sit as a gentle wind blows.

It feels so good to be outside.

Our friends give us time alone

To sit together at boat end

To enjoy this time and place zone.

Waves chat with me and my best friend.

I imagine that Joe and me

A merdog and a mermaid be.
