bleeding hearts
have now come and gone
memories linger

Still Life

(not mine)

this ghostly remains

now a part of the landscape –

new life, as still life

For Colleens Tanka Tuesday where this week we are using this photo to write an Ekphrastic Poem. I kept it short.

Amidst decay, there can still be beauty as nature plays her part.

A Beauty

lives close to the earth

an understated beauty

whimsical toadstool –

regal stance conjures tales of a realm

where all toadstools stand tall
