Freighters Tableau

Old ships come to die
on a silent beach;
once they ferried freight.
Side by side, they lie
broken hulls; now each
bide their rusty fate.

Sam Kauffman Date: 8/25/2023 11:08:00 AM There is a pathos in your tableau, Terry. I was deeply touched by your picture of two old warriors rusting out, but not alone, consoling each other as time and weather takes its toll! Blessings. This is special and a fav for me.
