Peering through a old stone gate, its face well carved, in prayers attired, I saw a golden wall of late before which stood cracked streetlamps retired, their warming light now long gone yet they still glow stubbornly on #poem#poemaday#poetry#photography#scotland#edinburgh#architecture
A poet in a pub drinks a pint of words and if they drink too much then they’ll write the absurd but for this moody writer it turns the mood up lighter so I’ll write as silly as you’ve ever heard #poem#poemaday#poetry#writing#photooftheday#photography#scotland#edinburgh#pub#street
a life I’ve made fifth decade long steep hill climb on I will and then I’ll leave behind the winding shroud and step onto the waiting clouds #poem#poemaday#poetry#writing#photooftheday#photography#scotland#edinburgh#nature#mountain#hill#minimalist#mentalhealth#landscape
My heart’s a lump of blackest coal that burns so very bright But a lamp I am not No I am a furnace a cauldron a crucible inscrutable flickering to white ash that feeds the future seed #poem#poemaday#poetry#photooftheday#scotland#edinburgh#monochrome#blackandwhite#moody#photography
Were we all cast out of Eden or did we destroy it ourselves? Paradise lost to pettiness’ snare — and now we live where our folly has dwelled: Take heed, take heart, from this sad path depart, rebuild this our garden in a joyous restart #poem#poetry#photography#scotland#nature#environment
