Microfiction Monday 140

Not the tanker
memory was tugs-
with tires dotted all along the black hull
a cushion, something to grab
if you're where you ought not to be

Tug boats are the workhorses of the ocean...

I guess she was a Deck Hand before she retired, having a pleasant trip down Memory Lane. I can remember seeing tug boats with the tyres along the side of the hull.

One of the memories from my childhood, seeing the tug boats docked in Portsmouth harbor. I'd thought that being a tug pilot would be alot of fun. Poetry in motion.

I enjoyed reading your microfiction. You've elevated the "regal" tugboat deservedly so :)

Your words artistically enhance the picture--with her memories of tug boats and their descriptions. Very nice!
