This week, I’m adding a new image not only to the Deck Project but to my slowly growing (as yet untitled) Seascape project.
It may be more a combination of landscape and seascape, you can see the road and the seawall, but I still consider it part of the Seascape set 🙂

The Driftwood.
Have you seen the driftwood that climbs the rocks,
and basks in the midday sun?
The one that crossed two oceans and a sea,
Yes, that’s the one.
It was cast adrift by a little boy
who threw it from the shore
To see if it would then return
back to him once more
He watched it bob among the waves
until it was lost from sight,
Then away he ran to play among
the children of the night
Upon many beaches it took a rest,
then washed to sea again
until it touched upon our shore
and bathed in sun and rain
I doubt that you will find it now
for I passed a hobo this morning
And I thought I smelled some fish broth
and the scent of driftwood burning.
If you can take a picture of Longing, it looks like this…….The poem goes well with it. I can see the bleached white in my mind. Well done on both counts!
Thanks Cynthia… this is why I love feedback… “longing” that’s a description I had not thought of… but I see it now 🙂
Thanks.
You know, if you are going to show off on us with the poetry the least you could do is accompany it with a crappy photo 🙂 Nice one (poem and photo).
Thanks Nik… the next time I get the urge to write poetry, let’s hope it’s a bad photo 🙂
