My leaky rowboat
will never hold all the stars
I prised from the sky.

This looks familiar! Thank you for ‘prised’ You may have a leaky rowboat, but it appears that your vocabulary isn’t leaking out of your brain yet!
It’s similar to the one that I did for the renga, but I tinkered with it a little. Glad you still like it!
Wonderful!
Very nice. ‘leaky’ notwithstanding. 🙂
But it will hold the moon, for sure. I like your tinkering.
I like the idea of collecting stars. Almost like the people who put fireflies in a jar 🙂
I used to collect fireflies as a kid, now it’s just stars. 😉
This flows so nicely and your choice of words was excellent. I like the imagery it evokes in my mind. Well done 🙂
Prizes from the sky indeed mark, thank you 🙂
And thank YOU, JRB! 😉
{{ ha !
i bet the stars
JUMP into your boat
for a clever
ride … }}
How did you know? I’m the Pied Piper of the Stars! 😉
imagine if that were really possible? Wonderful Mark!
being able to do that would save oodles of money!
such vivid imagery with words alone!!
catch a falling star and put it in your row boat.
Cheers!

But, but, but…the boat is leaky! 😉
Now THAT dates me!
“prised”?

Triple treat for me! Of course I knew this was a tinkered verse from the renga (I haven’t lost THAT much gray matter!) I like the leaky boat better than the empty boat. I wonder, did you use the empty rowboat(in the renga) to echo the image of an open clam shell? Just curious.
Empty boat, empty clam shell? Oh, I’m really not that clever. I write by the seat of my pants!
Oh so delightful ~ glad you have so many stars ~ You are a star of light ~ carol, xo
You’ll find a way to hold all that starlight.
ha! just love this…
so the stars can stay were they belong
With my boat leaking, I guess they can!
I have a feeling… that all those stars in your leaking rowboat will float you onward… love the imagery Mark! Thank you!
If you stay in the boat all night you may not see stars for too long…
probably a good thing — stars are not very kind up close 🙂
Loving that word “prised”. Love the haiku too.
You can always plug the holes with Perry Como…:)Nice haiku!
Ha! I could! 😉
