I seek
neither glory nor fame,
the ambitions of youth

In shipyards lay
long forgotten ships
painted with rust
and streaks
of seagull artistry

Their frames
are built
to carry heavy loads

Hi - just a thought in the last stanza :

I seek
neither glory nor fame,
the trademarks of youth

In shipyards lay
long forgotten ships
painted with rust
and streaks
of seagull artistry

Their frames
are built
to carry heavy loads

As St3 is written as a complete separate stanza then I feel 'are' before 'built' would help the flow.

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!
