A Barn


Wood griping soil
peak grasping sky
storage for being
shelter for beast



luxury then necessity
usable then adaptable
repairable then convertible
convenient then obstacle



leaning beyond return
slipping from memory
sliding into earth
forsaken forgotten friend.

  3. It looks like the Waltons...but then I have never been to the States so it is all celluloid to me. Really dreamy barns.

  4. Hi Kitty, a bit like the Waltons, there is much to see here, perhaps you'll visit one day, you are welcome to stay at my new home, once I find it.

  5. Love your words adn pictures here. If you want place, btw, to set up for ceramics, you need to stop by Northern Colorado and see Richard Devore--a world famous ceramicist who has two pieces in the British Museum representing 20th century ceramics. Incredible.
