Sometimes things are not always what they seem....

Reflections

 

The bridge

 cast a scythe shaped shadow

that just happened to clip the horizontal ladder

as it arched away from the setting sun

Inside the machine I hear a banging. It looks a lot like a bridge, and the shadow cast does not have to be a scythe. But that's just where this takes me. Very clever.

[Neville]

Love it when ya talk ..... like that my friend....cheers, I owe ya...... N

[barleygirl]

Your cleverness is leaping off the page in this one! You must have a spacial (as well as a special) way of perceiving your world & therefore how you design the page layout of your messages to SHOW your observations . . . PLUS! The bridge & the scythe -- that is such a brilliant juxtaposition! (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

You are very generous Margie and I like it... I like it a lot........ Nug, Nug.... Neville

[emmajoy]

Such a checked-out cleverness. There's nothing quite like looking back!

[Neville]

[emmajoy]

[Neville]

[Chris Shaw]

Good morning Neville. I'll keep pondering x

[Neville]

[Chris Shaw]

You haven't had the best of holiday experiences have ya? I bet you are looking forward to getting back.

[Neville]

true enough, but besides getting bit, there were some golden moments too, at least one or two anyway..........N

[Chris Shaw]

[Chris Shaw]

Now I've come back to this Neville, the word "that" in the back to front stanza is now sticking out like a sore thumb!

[Neville]

Ouch, okay, now ya got a choice between a cigar or a coconut............ N

[Chris Shaw]

I'll take the coconut. Shake the milk out of it and you can put it in my afternoon tea lol

[Neville]

Consider it done.........N

Nice, I liked how you added a foreign language into it for those who don't understand English. I liked how you can actually imagine the scenery.

[Neville]

How very kind of you to visit, many thanks... Neville

[Emily B]
