To blossom again ~ Reena Saxena  #writephoto

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Sue Vincent

The chill in the air is symbolic of the underlying fear. The horizon will turn dark earlier than usual. The Sun may become a rare visitor. Who will uphold the truth? The starkness of branches is a reassurance. It represents … Continue reading →

Memorial lost ~ Frank J. Tassone #writephoto

Posted on October 31, 2018 by Sue Vincent

Whose life, so memorialized, and then so forgotten? A moss-covered cross upon a lichen-stained pedestal, erected in a clearing of ancient oaks. The overcast sky piering between spindley branches says nothing. The thinning grass utters not a word. Who could … Continue reading →

Walking the Path ~ Frank J. Tassone #writephoto

Posted on September 5, 2018 by Sue Vincent

Where are you leading me? The mist rolls in. The cold and rain accompanying it envelop me like a fisherman’s expertly cast net. The ascent continues. To where, I don’t know. Only that your whisper, “follow me,” drives me onward. … Continue reading →

Mindset ~ Reena Saxena #writephoto

Posted on August 10, 2018 by Sue Vincent

There are days when the white clouds look like flocks of birds, which will descend to destroy the flowers. Their menacing shapes symbolize evil, out to destroy happiness. I desperately want to spread a net on the flowers, or cover … Continue reading →

Pathway: A #writephoto #haibun ~ Frank J. Tassone

Posted on August 8, 2018 by Sue Vincent

It’s like any other walk through the woods. Light from a westward sun attempts to breach the canopy. It succeeds only in scattering illumination and shadow on the dirt path under our feet. The full fragrance of forest envelops us: … Continue reading →

Triune Journeys~ Frank J. Tassone #writephoto

Posted on August 1, 2018 by Sue Vincent

It could be a path between fields in the backcountry of Portugal’s Trans os Montes. Or a trail across the frontier between Mexico and the American Southwest. Or a dirt road in a high, dry summer somewhere in mountains lying … Continue reading →

End of the Day – Frank J. Tassone #writephoto

Posted on June 5, 2018 by Sue Vincent

I can sip my burgundy and gaze at the last sunset. Let the impending thunderclouds gather. Let their first rumbles chill the hearts of others. I laugh from my lawn chair, enjoying the show as I savor every oak overtone … Continue reading →

Movement – Reena Saxena #writephoto

Posted on May 14, 2018 by Sue Vincent

Being rooted is wonderful. It gives a sense of belonging. Being strongly rooted is claustrophobic. It obstructs movement. The weight of my ingrained beliefs and thinking models do not help much. The vegetation around me is immobile too, except that … Continue reading →

The Untold Tale of a Staircase – Frank J. Tassone #writephoto

Posted on May 9, 2018 by Sue Vincent

Who would descend such a staircase? A Quincenara introduced to high society? A bride approaching her groom? Or an matronly host of an elite inn catering only to the jet-setting crowd? Morning light bathes the steps through east-facing windows, and … Continue reading →

Beached – Suzanne #writephoto

Posted on April 16, 2018 by Sue Vincent

Walking the beaches – a continuum through the years. Around me the muted grey greens of dune plants and stretches of blue sea/blue sky against a backdrop of sun bleached sand. Childhood holidays spent wandering beaches as a genderless, ageless … Continue reading →
