Weathered and broken
Once an adventurous gem
Vessel of crossings
Key to sudden journey’s end
A story yet to be told

Thanks, Lindy. I’ve been so sick with the flu for the past few days, which knocked me out so completely, that I couldn’t function. Creating this post helped me get back to “normal’.

Just wondering why you went with red? Also, seeing in the comments you have been under the weather, hope you are feeling fully well soon.

Thanks for the question. When I write poetry, I usually try to intertwine the visual and the words. Since this post was engaging multiple challenges (two of which were poetry), I decided to forgo the B/W I had originally planned and add a splash of red since the vessel looked like it had been through a harrowing experience in the past. Thanks for your well wishes for my recovery from the flu. I’m almost in the clear. No fever yet today. 🙂

Oh, I see, the red certainly did add an interesting element to the photo. I’m glad to hear that you are on the mend.

I like your photo. Coincidentally I just posted a photo of an old weathered boat for the WordPress Photo Challenge – we must have been on the same wave length for a moment. 🙂
