Two dare devils lost their lives

in recent years

trying to conquer the Niagara

their only apparel
was a wooden  barrel.

They were

                      fools

attempting a feat

that could only end up in defeat.

You did really well with the visuals. I love this sort of thing. Have you ever seen the Gironimo Stilton children's books?

Just a little ditty that gave me the scope to experiment further with visuals, Catherine.
I must confess I haven't seen the Gironimo Stilton children's books; my own children are grown ups and my grandson is only beginning to be interested in picture books.

Glad you found some value in my effort. Thanks.

Well, you've had fun there and sorted out how to get picture images in, and different fonts and colours – in which I haven't yet! Rhiannon

Not quite what I intended but it'll do for now.

It looks as if you are having fun despite your frustrations, Luigi. Thrilled you've given this a go.

In the end I manage to produce something but in my attempt to achieve good visuals I neglected the poetic side which in retrospect seems rather scant. Still I was glad to experiment with a new form.
I might have another go if I find the right inspiration. We'll see.

Thanks, Ray, for your feedback.
