Tanka: Pieces

two whippets in winter jackets sniffing branches of a driftwood tree on the beach
a blue and white whippet in a winter jacket on the shingle above the beach

driftwood trees
after the storm
men gather
with bent backs and rusty saws
we help pick up the pieces

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words dear Cathy 💜 Most of the driftwood was good for woodburners and was soon cleared away 😊 Wishing you a peaceful rest of the week and much love from our house to yours 🤗💕🐕 xxx

  8. Xenia, I hope you are having much better weather since your storm. It looks like you had, at least, a nice sunny day for clean-up. Sending hugs from Gibbs and I and a wish to you for a happy week.

  9. Driftwood is sort of magical. I remember some beaches along the Oregon Coast that were bursting with driftwood. I also love the semi-shallow depth-of-field in the top photo as it really draws attention to Eivor and Pearl. Wonderful words and images as always, Xenia! 🙂
