cloaked in red
the boy stood at the fence
looking beyond
what anyone else could see

the skyline of the city
was just a series of lines
like a print out
of an electrocardiogram

perhaps it really was
all about his heart
his love for the place
he could no longer
call home

YAY - I love it when an image inspires me to launch some quick thoughts. Beautifully done. It has a painterly feel.

one more month of summer

the sun comes up
baking through the layers of misty white
scorching everything below
until it is dried and crispy
like old Kentucky Fried Chicken

yet each day brings us closer
to that hint of a north wind
and the promises of autumn
to cool down the earth
and our oppressed souls

WOW You inspired me this morning. Welcome to the side challenge. It's going to be an awesome month.

I should have expected nothing less than this perfect image, Nick. Really wonderful. I'm such a sucker for the silhouette, as you know. Great way to start out. Welcome to the side challenge!!

Oh wow how perfect. That window layer is just super. You'd never know that you weren't actually looking out through those panes to see that gorgeous view!!

This gives me a sense of frenzy. Like it's so hot and the sun is making you crazy. As you are falling to the ground, the flowers whiz around you in a whirl. GOOD STUFF. It's going to be a fun month.

without a trace
well, the flowers
and the sunlight
and the golden memories
I'll always have those
