Seasons and Impressions 
Great words and beautiful photo, as always! The imagery may continue into a poem… 🙂
Léa
Thanks, Lea, new poem but old photo from my Ireland visit. The landscape is great I could write another poem. 🙂
Your words always easily find a place of welcome in my spirit! Their beauty always works the mind to imagine what the image really adds to the life of your words…and they are always a perfect blend, that leaves one’s heart and mind in loving embrace of its blessings! So wonderful to awaken to…because it sets a beautiful tone to my day! Thanks for sharing the blessings my sister!
Thank you Wendell, your comments always inspire me to deliver what i feel is good and beautiful, I also feel happy when I can pass on the inspiration to my wonderful blogging friends who appreciate this gift of poetry. 🙂
Oh boy, these are powerfully good, Sister. I especially cringed on the second one. God bless you abundantly today, and always. love, sis Caddo
We always cringe at negative thoughts especially the idea of being unwelcome, or when a loved one hides secrets from you. God bless you Sis Caddo, thank you for being a faithful friend and commenter, I will never put a dividing wall between us because I treasure your friendship!
A lovely picture and poems. Ruins mean so many different things.
Thank you Ms. Harris, maybe I could tackle on the “ruins” story in another poem. I shall try to dig the old photographs of Irish landscapes I took sometime ago and see what I can make of it.
I look forward to it. Your poems are always evocative.
Beautiful picture indeed, Cynthia.. and your poems are fitting very well the scenery.
The first Ku, gives a feel of mystery…The second one more like a threat and the Tanka I think is excellent..Silence is indeed not always golden , it also often hides the unexpected and hurtful..
Ciao, Francina
Thank you, Francina. Indeed the scenery is enchanting and speaks of more poems to weave out of it.
Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while today. I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as good as when I arrived. I’ll be back!
Thank you, Russel, for generously liking my posts, you are a terrific camper I would most certainly welcome, anytime!
amen
