When I
found Born on a Fishing
Boat in an issue of
Poetry While You
Wait in Colorado
Springs, Colorado, I was
immediately struck by Ms.
Lius simple, evocative
words. While I sat in the
cafe on a cold January
day waiting for my
coffee, I closed my eyes
and envisioned what it
might be like to lie on
my back in a small
fishing boat and look up
at the stars. I stole the
free booklet of poetry
and trudged home in the
snow, already hearing the
piano part in my mind. I
would encourage anyone
who is interested in
learning more about
Mei-Li Lius life and work
to purchase her book
Ten Thousand Miles
from Home, published
by Dragon Press (ISBN:
9780976137009). I
sincerely hope I have
honored her art with this
setting. Born on a
Fishing Boat I was born
on fishing boat Lying in
basket Ocean tide rocking
me to sleep Papa fishing
all-day and all-night
Mamas washings hanging on
line Above my head Misty
sea washing my face
Northern wind whispering
to my ears Angel of sea
kissing my forehead
Beneath paper moon My
little arms out from the
cradle Out to the breeze
Happy, born on fishing
boat By the sea.
