Orange lips in perma-grin,
a crate, i guess, is what i’m in…
a boat, an ocean, tossing seas
great waves are stirred by mighty breeze.
Ship metal shudders, throws us free…
these ten times ten times ten of me
times ten again and then times nine
(that’s lots of duckies in the brine).
Brown crates erupt and off we go,
once we’ve finally said hello
(the crates, you see, were so arranged
that all of us remained estranged).
The current eddied, then it bent,
and three of us, becoming friends,
remained together long enough
to think of names and discuss stuff.
Geoff would only call the pale blue “sky”.
Mauve insisted that the vines and leaves were “kelp”.
They called me Shine,
i don’t know why…
i never asked
and if i had
i’m sure they’d not explain…
there was no time, we had a SEA to tame.
i’m tossed and turned and pulled
Mauve’s sun has changed, i’m dulled
and draped in kelp. I’ve seen
pale sky so blue, sea green
beyond compare soft run
of waves white eye of sun
and THIS is lost at sea! Hey, everyone…
i grinned because i HAD to, understand?

This is based on a real event. My mom read a story about a shipment of rubber ducks that went astray in a storm at sea. Months and years later, they started washing ashore and the company offered rewards for return of the lost duckies. i would like to find someone to illustrate this one. this is the first part of it. the stanza breaks are where i see page divisions.

I really like this one! It doesn't seem as depressing to me.
