Rusted

Reduced to nuggets of the dacoit time
Under the burden of spent splendour
Shattered silhouette in a shabby corner
The inexorable skeleton of lovely life 
Entreats the Grim Reaper for mercy 
Daffodils look at you in trembling awe

I like the way you addressed the theme, Probir. Great imagery of the 'rusted' subject in the photo in such few words. Best wishes for the contest. Sandra
