No grief, no pining
I will be glad to be free
Of this old body

For Bluedaisyz Photo prompt: LISTEN
Another soothing take on ‘Listen’ by Cathy: and click here for Jamie’s avian photo.
Only slightly smaller than life-size this statue/sculpture is in a little pergola in Doreen’s garden in Branscombe, Devon

Allegory
Pine tree pines for cones
Dropping to the ground to grow
Not grief, just pining

And Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge: PINE and GRIEF (including a nature reference)
Go see this post by TJ – but allow some time to really take a good look at the sunrise photo – just stunning! Click on it and see it much bigger with more detail – gorgeous!
And Olga’s Haiku takes my breath away, the sparkling picture and that last line ……..!
Next week’s photo prompt is ORANGE

Thanks Eddie, it is always interesting to know which one different people like. I think I will feel ready to leave my old body behind when the time comes – it’s creaking a bit now!

I liked it because it wasn’t morbid; just funny and thankful for time that it served him. 🙂

Both haiku are lovely and I enjoyed the image too. The 2nd haiku was my favorite. 🙂

Brilliant as always Sandra. So impressed with both the Haiku and the photo is perfect for the word, a tough one it could be.

Thank you Melissa – yes, not easy prompts in either challenge. I had to go through my photos to find a suitable one. I was pleased to come across this one, an opportunity to take another look at Doreen’s garden – not a garden I would want or have, but wonderfully quirky and Doreen so obviously has lovingly tended it for many years.

I’ll admit to only just discovering each of the challenges words for the week here so am completely unprepared to join in. Have been ill for weeks first with headcold and then stomach flu and I am rarely sick. Rundown me thinks, so I gave notice to the hotel and will not be doing the last two weeks of the season. Huge relief! Now to get back to all things that matter most in my life and make me happiest, family, garden/home life and writing/blogging world.
Sorry for the earfull!! But thanks for ‘listening’ as always my friend. Xx

Oh no! I’m so sad to hear you have been poorly – please don’t feel the need to apologise. My listening ear is happy to be of service. I too feel a sense of relief that you have been able to hand in your notice, and want to rush over with hugs and hot drinks and cosy blankets. I know there was lots you enjoyed about the work and I’m so amazed you were able to do all the things you do – but even superwoman has her limits and it sounds as if your body has called ‘time’!
On a selfish note – I really look forward to your writing, when you feel up to it – you have such a gift with words. I (like Ronovan) wonder if you are actually writing a book when you write your blog – yours is such a wonderful story.
Take care dear one! Get some good rest ❤
