My Boat

My boat


A small boat moving through choppy water.

Prompt from "Grief" by Raymond Carver 


Some sail in yachts
Some relax on cruise ships
Some transport fruit on cargo ships 
Some are fishing in trawlers
Some refugees seek asylum
Some toil with nuclear reactors
Some wear military uniforms
Some honeymoon in new lands.

A few are in Boaty Mcboatface.

My little rowing boat has sprung a leak.

We are not all in the same boat
But we are on same sea.

Every individual experience is a bit different, but seas are indeed pretty choppy these days. Well penned.

Unfortunately the seas are set to get choppier
