EMBERS TURN TO ASH

Embers turn to ash

Used tea bags in empty cups

The night lingers on.

    Hi Michael,

    A good write.

    You could say everything is turning to ash with this pandemic around us.

    Keep healthy and writing.

    A mellow Senryu given the circumstances we find ourselves in Michael

    Like the seasons have been suspended

      Thanks Andrew It wasn't written with the darn virus in mind but - yes - very apt in thee current circumstances.

      The light will be with us in time, the light is always there.

        Turn to fag-ash? You know Fag-Ash Lil? Or Fag-Ash Berles?!

        • Michael Edwards

          Gosh yes - I'd forgotten Fag Ash Lil - I'll ask Miss Berles about her.

          This sad sen. shows how much is ash in empty cup is at the moment - - good points raised Mike.

          Oh so moody a piece. I don't know why but it says so much.

          A must for my favourites.

          Beauty in the eye of the beholder etc.... this one hits a spot in me.

          • Michael Edwards

            I'm flattered - thanks dusk - so much appreciated.

            These three short lines evoke an end of day peaceful and relaxing time in front of the fireplace. Exactly what we need during these tough times!
