Remembering a time when
harvests of corn and rye persevered within my earth-warmed embrace
Recalling the shuffling footsteps of laborers
in search of sustenance and rest within my drafty walls
Remembering a time when
stallions and fillies nickered and whinnied within my sturdy stalls
Recalling the sounds of laughter and song
lingering within my heart in this place they called “Home”

Thanks so much! 😁
Wow! Siobhan, a poem to tell your images' story. Amazing photos and narrative, and well appreciated!
Thank you, Anne! I had fun putting that post together.
I love your treatment of the photos with a mid-20th century-styled frame. Nice collection of abandoned buildings, Siobhan!
Thanks, John! It's fun to play with some of the framing options.
Hard to choose between your images and your verse Siobhan - tied with top-notch excellence. Beautifully done.
Thanks, Tina! 🙂 I spent a lot of time finding the images and in writing the poem to go with them.
Great images for this week's themes! The last one just abut broke my heart.
Thanks, Joanne! Glad that last one touched your heart. ❤️
Siobhan, nothing I'll say will compare to the photos and poetry you shared. Amazing!
Thank you very much, Egidio! Glad you liked my post this week. 🙂
I feel so touched by your words and images. So much of life contained in these old homes and barns!
I'm glad my post touched you so deeply! 🙂 ❤️
Wonderful words and photos Siobhan 😀 I like them all
Thank you, Brian! 😄
What a beautiful response to Anne's challenge! Your words remind us of these buildings' pasts and your photos show how attractive they still are.
Thanks so much, Sarah! :)
Fantastic collection, Siobhan. I think the last one is my favourite, but they are all beautiful.
Thanks, Sofia! Yeah, the last place was a great one to photograph.
