I will be taking weekends off from sharing poetry until further notice, so I decided to share some of my favorite photos. I hope you enjoy them. Of course, I’ll still be doing my #DailyHaikuChallenge/#SeptemberWriting. 🙂

Friendship, is two souls
Sharing a singular space
Together, as one
The object they’re sitting on looks like a beached shark. It’s actually the top part of a rock in Pines Lake. What are the odds the water set this scene? 🙂

Blocked with stones, and locked forever
A place where once, the plentiful, stored
Fed the hungry, through cold winter days
Now left alone, empty, and ignored
The door that held the bounty
Of this land, so lovingly tilled
No longer can be opened
No longer can be filled
For it only stands in memory
Of one who can never be replaced
A root cellar door, forever closed
Yet, still fertile, in this hallowed place
