In 15 Words or Less

Nestled deep in green
hand rubbed mahogany
spreads autumn fingers

In 15 Words or Less Poems are hosted by Laura Salas.

The thing about photopoetry is that some images just make you want to keep going:

Observance

silken woodgrains
spiky armor
redolent and evocative;
a tiny wisp of
sticky fingered remembrance

This photo brought back memories of another November day, twelve years ago, when I stooped to pick up a pinecone at my Grandmother's graveside service.  I still have that pinecone, an emblem of that day; grief and joy, old memories and pungent new ones.

You have a way with words. That photo is a beautiful one. The rose on the ABC's of the word header was taken by Pam of a rose in her yard. She doesn't know what kind it is but Mighty Mom commented and said she thinks it's a Peace Rose ...
