So The Pictures Fade Poem by MARINA GIPPS

So The Pictures Fade

Rating: 5.0


So the pictures fade but the young sailor
is left to wonder about the boat,

To relate still waters of a fact,
still in memory of vulture-lined shores.

This young sailor is defenseless,
being christened at the rotten bow

Of no more wooden boat
and vacation pictures faded

to that color of fate
or was it destiny?

The weight of a magnet with a magnet,
the anchor drawing more ore, more woe.

Lovely title. The emotional control here only serves to heighten the intense feelings that produced this fine word painting. Thank you for sharing. Warm regards, Sandra
