Driftwood

three days clinging on
picked up by a passing ship
never spoke of the war



Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

  3. My Grandfather was lucky enough to be on deck for smoko when his ship was torpedoed in WW2. Everyone in the engine room where he worked was killed.He survived the war but never spoke of it.
