This is another great piece!

Somehow odd that I've always been alone in a cemetery outside of funerals...

The image and the words fit perfectly together.

Beautifully done!

A week away from my computer has put me well behind on my reading and reviews, but I'm racing to make sure I don't leave any of my regulars out. I've missed seeing what my favorite writer's minds have been twisted up in. Thanks for sharing.

    I enjoy everything you write no matter what it is, poetry or prose. It's the way you look at and express things. :-)

Your haiku paints a poignant picture of solitude and aging. The choice of words creates a sense of melancholy and reflection. Well-crafted!

Hi Rhonda,
These three shot lines match the artwork well. It reminds us how lonely and sad it can be to visit graves.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have a great weekend
Joan

Beth, this is a good poem for this contest. In the past, I have done some genealogy research that took me to some older gravesites for some information. There is no lonelier path than an old graveyard. Nicely done. Terry.

    Thank you, Terry, I appreciate the review and comment. I like genealogy too and I've visited a lot of graves copying names and dates of my anscestors.

The sadness is captured well in your writing, Beth and you create a very haunting atmosphere with your words as well. A really well written and a well constructed piece. Good luck in the contest.

The author's words are heartfelt, sad and thought provoking. I thought
about walking through a cemetery and those gone. The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork goes well with these words.
Have a great day!....Maria

Excellent 3-line poem Beth. The tone was set in the artwork but your well chosen words draw the reader into the somber scene.

Very well done and good luck in the contest.
Blessings

3 Line Poetry Contest Home Run!

I mean, it doesn't hurt that I love cemeteries. It's the o Lu place you can walk through a history book.

The picture and color scheme you developed created a great atmosphere for this piece.

Great!
