Forgotten~Featuring Mary Ann Potter

Passing into time
rushing through
shades of deep green
hues of bright blue

pathway for play
finished fun
aged into yellow
disowned by the sun

  1. "disowned by the sun" is a wonderful way to end a lovely poem like this. You chose a photo I wanted to use, but couldn't think how. Thanks for this.

  2. I'm so honored that you used this photo for your prompt! I took it along the creek on our farm, one of my favorite places to walk, and used a texture by Jerry Jones to give it this feel. Then you completed it with your lovely poem. Thanks! 8-)

  7. Hi, I came back to tell you that you have linked your blog Home page to Real Toads and not this specific poem - which means that readers may have a hard time finding the one that goes with the prompt. This can be fixed by clicking on the title of the poem you want to share and then copying the URL. Hope this helps.

  11. disowned by the sun is a bit haunting... perhaps on a hot summer day that is a good thing, though. This leaves me a bit sad...
