Description
*************************************************
Winner in "boats of WOOD" FAA Contest, (1st place), February 2013
*************************************************
I found your old boat beached under the shade
Of tamarisk trees, sand sifting up the deck,
The cabin shuttered, fittings and lifeline frayed.
Here is your island grave, not a transatlantic
Cemetery of coffined rows under a lead-lined sky.
From here I watch the bay you used to sail,
Can nearly hear you start again some wry
Outlandish life-enhancing tale
That always made us listen, laugh - and love.
For what so grieved you there�s no gift or cure
Like the lapped waterline your boat�s above.
The once enriched feel keenly to be poor.

Pedro, Since I already commented, voted and promoted your photo for CFC Round #47 I chose another one. I went into your gallery and chose this beautiful beach scene with the water washing up on shore and that awesome sky in the background over the ocean with the ocean and sky meeting at the horizon. Excellent image of the old boat in the foreground and also great details of the beach in the foreground also. Great photo, voted, tweet and google promoted
