Walled Reluctant Writer

There was a time when washing windows and floors were part of my weekly chore routine. Crying, figthing, feigning illness, all my best tricks to get out of these tasks never worked. It only took longer to get it done! Today, I washed the windows and the floors, it had to be done, but it became a selective chore over writing. Once again, close to midnight and I have to come with something original. Since my brain seems to still appreciate the summer break, I offer more pictures for light relief.

Stone Wall Fascination
Graveyard walls
Gather moss
Soul's at rest
Winter's surviving
Summer's thriving
Keeping
Mourners in
Grave-robbers out
Tended
Over decades
It will outlive me
This
I’m sure
As existing



Farmyard walls
Gather moss
Seasons’
Soul saving
Summer’s shade
Winter’s shelter
Sheep in
Foxes out
Tended
Over decades
Owner’s outlived
This
I’m sure
As livelihood are made
