Belching Dragon

Wild fire roars through the hillside
Lick of flames releasing crumbling embers skyward like a belching dragon
With cinders on the fly furthering its cause

wild fire smoulders
flames refuse to be subduded –
nature’s wildest child

stoked by whipping winds fury
on insatible rampage

7 Days 7 Photos. ..Day 7


This is for a photo challenge:-
7 Days, 7 Photos in black & white
a black and white photo of your life. No people. No explanation.

I was challenged by Rebel Girl at Photogate.ca

Thanks for inviting me to play along. Now I am smitten with black and white photos. : )

A wall of stickers. The outdoor wall. This place used to be a bar I think, it’s on Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn.

Thursday Doors

This is a fire engine company door. It was hard to day if it was still active because it was tucked in to such a tight space. Plus, there was no yellow paint on the street in front so it probably isn’t. The work in black on the door was scrolled on and it’s raised. Very striking!

Sugar & Spice

butterfly’s flutter
whispers of sugar and spice –
buzz of bumble bee

honeysuckle’s heady scent
beckons both naughty and nice

Mirror & Harbor

a mirror image
the pair of swans off the pier –
a gliding tango
never far from each other
together a safe harbor
