Old Fishing Boat

Old battered vessel, Waves crash but it sails onward, Seas can't break its will, With stories in every scar, Enduring, it braves the storm.

loved this metaphor of the resilience of the human spirit, perhaps even an older one that 'braves the storm.' Am faving. Have a great evening, Sara PS Just to clarify, I'm not leaving PS--just re-prioritizing my time. Will still be reading your poems and commenting. Looking forward to your comments on mine (when you can)...

Thanks Sara. I feel like an old fishing boat at times. My new book keeps me away from PS for now. Should catch my breath in a month. Cheers! Don
