While I think there is nothing routine about tides at sea, I can see how it would be rather predictable and unremarkable for a car ferry. Spectacle of grace! Lovely.
She does routine work,but is rather extraordinary!
Thank you for sharing this.
It is a lovely spectacle. I live near Portland, Maine USA a small city with a lot of outlying islands. The ferries running in and out the harbor all day are very small and very yellow!
A "spectacle of grace" is a beautiful image!
ooohhhh
I really really like the line "routine of tides." Very descriptive.
An unique and beautiful take on this prompt is this beautiful shop upon the waters.
"Spectacle of grace" is such a lovely phrase. Wonderful poem.
Beautiful poem and backstory! She is a grand looking ship!
Such a great picture,,,,
Interesting spectacle indeed.
She IS a beautiful spectacle and one I would love to see.
Ah, yes! Ferries are spectacular.
So utilitarian, but definitely graceful. Lovely reaction to the prompt.
this really speaks to my heart!
Elicits happy memories of many ferry rides. Routine of tides is a terrific image.
