My heart is the captain for a ship of gold
Our mission is something special to behold
Together, my boat and I span the high seas

Since summer kicks off in June, we will be kicking off our summer of verses in June as well…Story Institute will post at least one new poem every week…with a goal of one every day…If you are a writer, storyteller, or poet, you know how difficult it is to create words with meaning on the fly and under pressure…so, be patient…if you don’t see one in the morning…check back…there will be one at some point…afterall, there are 24 hours in a day…
