Etched in silver, Legacy forever seen, Courage on display. Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflecting
Of Windows
When in the course of eons, man’s ascent, Desire for creature comforts came to be, Once mere survival safe could be achieved, As hay and clay walls opened for to see. Through ages ice and iron, improved upon, Increasing heights and breadths, invite light… Continue Reading “Of Windows”
Good as Gold
Our travel bags retrieved, then tagged and packed, Each year, this day, with only hours to go, Filled, bulging piggy-banks have been attacked, The countdown’s creeping to a dwindling low. So many tasks to check before we go: Alert the postman, stop the paper… Continue Reading “Good as Gold”

Template for Humanity (Weekly Photo Challenge)
