Blackbird

20191215_162811

The flower withheld its perfume

the sky withheld its rain

the road its destination

the labour its aim

She had taken away the love

life’s poetry and rhyme

Had taken all the flesh

left only the rind

heartbreaking and sad and beautiful all at the same time.

thanks Beth; it was an inventive way to use the snap I took of the apple rind 🙂

Love this!! 👍👍🖤
