How sad, as your words tell of abandonment, whether forced or not the times are surely getting hard, as the climate suffers the people of the land/sea suffer, very well written****kahpot

Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. Your poem is so emotional that I even feel sorry for this poor abandoned boat. I enjoyed reading this wonderful poetic package.

The boat surrendering and the echoes of living give a sad mood to your verse. Both the boat and the boathouse seem to long for purpose that has abandoned them.

You prove with this poem that a poem can be beautiful without rhyme. All of the description is excellent, but I am drawn especially to "echoes of living cling to bare walls.

Old vessels keep secret memories of the past as they lie abandoned, if only walls and boats could speak of the past they would have many stories to tell, a poignant write, love Dolly x

That's so sad. I especially liked " echos of living cling to bare walls" (echoes) as that really shows the lack of life when the walls are bare and the home is hollow. Great use of consonance, too!
