Written for: Sunday Muse #167
Half a shipwreck,
no deck, no sailors,
just a rusty chain
hanging down among
the stones where
it washed ashore.
Clouds impose their
steely swirls onto
this hulk. In Summer,
we climbed up the sides,
gathered inside, and told
ghost stories of captains,
sailors, pirates,
and fool's gold.

There was an old Buick car put away in a fairly deep ditch on our farm. We kids used to play riding and driving in it but when we tired we settled down to a more restful story telling session. Yes, kids do stuff like that for play.
