I LOVE the tree in the photo. what a great shot you got. I wish I understood poetry better. This one I think I understand. Is this you?
Yes i was feeling angry that i had no place to live and also no beloved so I vented my anger in this sort of ironic poem and it is me that is for rent.
This is a " Ohhhhh" picture. How awsome, you have captured something special here.
I have to read the poetry more than once to let the words sink in.
Have a great beginning of a week,
Andrea
I came back to look at the picture: the blue-greens, the yellow-greens, the blue-greys, the reds. I just love this photograph.
thanks andrea for commenting on the photo. That kind of encouragement is so heartwarming.
Yes Suki, I came back to look at it too. what a great tree and shot. awesome.
I liked the poem! And I got it! ;-)
I saw it as powerful, not going to be taken advantage of...
