I look outside, the world’s gone gray,
Not long ago was a summer day…
We’d seek the shade beneath a tree,
But now there’s just that memory…
Captured here for all to share,
To cling to as the world goes bare.
Feeling a bit taciturn today. It is rainy, chilly, and gray outside and I just want to retreat inside myself and stay quiet. I had to thumb through my pictures to make the feeling lift a bit and thus this simple poem was born.

I love the spark of a photo creating our poems.

I do as well. Sometimes they will spark a short story instead.

Yes! I love that inner release-you’re like, where’d that come from? Lol.
