We awoke upon a narrowboat
new to the reeling aboard
an eagle scanned the waterway
as a poet would record
Sixty fields we laboured
to give hours to the waves
yet this season flows on swiftly
no time can be saved
Hence we navigate our history
drift slowly from the roar
a little further, out of sight
the perfect place to moor
Excellent, Adam. Very pictorial.
Thanks Adam.
I've had a brief go at piloting/driving? a narrowboat on couple of occasions-an interesting and relaxing experience. And I've walked several hundred miles on towpaths in the UK and France, which of course, are generally easier/flatter. The history of the canals is fascinating.
nothing more tranquil than a canal holiday on a longboat. Navigating history is a particularly relevant line to the canals. Nice piece Adam

Fantastic! I could imagine myself flowing there.
