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. Image #1

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.

Congrats Terry, your rhyming is excellent. Now they each bide their rusty fate. A story in such a few words. Best wishes.
