I like the photo you choose to go with your poem, they are a perfect match. you captured my attention from the first line to the last I found your poem to be a interesting read if i wasn't afraid of drowning i would take the next trip with you.
thank you for sharing

What a happy poem. My spirits were truly lifted while reading this. It took my mind away from the dreary world currently outside my window and let me fantasize a bit! I'd give you a six if I still had one!

For an adventuring boy like Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn, sailing a raft, especially as one that is as well made as this one in the artwork would be a pleasure, especially with the help of a small outboard motor. Beautifully writte free verse my friend, good luck, blessings Roy

A very well-written poem using the prescribed words very well to tell a great story that takes the reader on the journey with you down the Mississippi.

I really do think you have met this challenge superbly. The set words are all there and there is a great little adventure told in these lines. Very well done indeed. Definitely worth a six star grading.

To lose all of the things that take us away from the life we want and just float along for a while. Now that's a dream. What a wonderfully written poem. I wish I had a six for you. Congrats on the win!

Have a great day, and God bless.

This is a great poem using the words that are needed for this contest. I like the images that you have carried out in creating the scene for this post. I did stumble over the line 'there's nothing like family'. To keep the syllable flow you might use something like 'there's naught like family'. Just a suggestion. Great job and you have a vivid imagination in putting this together. Love it.
