Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

inseparable
Photo by James Rainsford
in heated sun I stood guard to burdens of world one of God's creature sat on my head shading me from sun breeze tickles my beard
I love the personification of the stature, his thoughts, and how the birds wide wingspan provides shade. That a statue can mellow and relax makes me smile. Thanks for sharing today!

Love how little incidents together can generate a mellow mood! Lovely little poem!
This was a concrete interpration.
I think I saw his shoulders relax a little.
i am glad for that provision...and not a bad mood to have...
To think of the bird and those wings as shade—like that a lot! Very well done :)
An almost perfect match of words and image. Thanks for sharing this. James.
I like the synergy of bird and statue, and that you have picked the shelter of the spreading wings as central to the poem.
I like your mellow mood and words :)

I admit it took a few lines before I realized you were speaking for the statue, not the bird. Nicely done!
The bird as a 'shade'--nice suprising take! Thanks!
Gautami, this is one of my favorites I've seen of yours. The image was very sweet, but the words really set the mood.
Glad you are back to mellow! Amy

That is certainly a "the glass is half full" interpretation of this photo (shading my head vs crapping on it)! Good job.
Very clever!
We all see this often..but to think of lines like these and then to weave them..very nice..
