Poem for NTT 10/24/24
A poem based on artwork from Kevin’s NTT
Behold! Autumn’s cool final breath
Ere blows the icy wind
Ground turns to iron with her howl
The drowsy trees to tin
Beyond all recall, those of then
Lives lived in distant time
Faint voices silenced by the grave
Ayond that mystic line
Ashes to ashes goes the quote
Both builders and the built
Crumble and sigh their story not
‘neath winter’s frigid quilt

Thanks, Kevin! That one jumped out at me and I felt it needed a poem instead of a story. Great pix this week 😎👏

This was both beautiful and frightening, perfectly reminding us and preparing us for the approaching winter season.
A fantastic tribute to Kevin’s image, well done my Friend.

Thanks, Mary! I can just picture walking down that road, hunkered down in a jacket and stocking cap…passing those buildings with stories to tell. Appreciate your comment 😎❤️

Hi Darryl.
Very evocative . It’s satisfying to jump into a different way of writing every now and then. Poetry used to scare me but I have learnt just to do my own thing, ignore the rules, and have fun!

Thanks, MJ! Yeah, I’m not much of a poet but I felt like this particular picture needed some short and punchy. I didn’t know if an 8-6-8-6 meter was legit, but I punted 😂Thanks for the encouragement!

Sneska, thanks so much for the kind words! 😎 I’m glad you liked it, although I can’t take credit for the artwork…that all Kevin and his “No theme Thursday.” But when I saw it. I right off thought of Orion and the two bears. I appreciate you reading it and tanks again for the props 🙂
