This is Photo Story #5 for the Five Photos, Five Stories challenge. The rules are to post a photo a day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph. Oh yes, and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge. Today I nominate Debbie of The Mountain Kitchen, a place to learn a whole lot of wonderful things about food, delicous-ness, and mountain living.
It is an odd thing,
a windowless view
of a landscape unseen
and a sky never blue,
of lovers inside
with an old lovers’ kiss
but no more to hide
of a sweet lovers’ tryst.
It is an odd thing,
a windowless view
From both inside and out.
This is my final submission for the Five Photos, Five Stories challenge. In a way, it felt like cheating because two of the five were poems. But I learned from this exercise that poetry is my automatic first response to sights and sounds and photographs are particularly inspirational. Thank you to those who followed along with my “stories” and thank you if you joined in on the fun. The results have been spectacular.
You had great pictures to use for this. Most of my picts are of carts doing dumb things.

Yes, this painted window was just waiting in the “library” for somewhere to use it and the words came easily too. 🙂

It means a lot that you enjoy the poems. It’s not the most popular way of communicating nowadays – kind of a lost art I think. But I love it. 🙂

I agree, Dor. I wrote a lot of poetry at one time, then fell away from it. Such a richer way to communicate than prose. But it takes time and effort on the part of the reader to tease out the meaning(s). I love the musicality of poetry, and yours is clever 😉 There is a lot of haiku on WordPress, which is fine, but I prefer the longer expressions, which don’t necessarily include sex, heartbreak, or manic-depression. Those are the gems I watch for 😉 Cheers!

We are two like minds on the beauty of poetry and searching for “longer expressions which don’t necessarily include sex, heartbreak or manic-depression.” 🙂 I love the way you put that.
