On Another
A Solo Renhai by Vaughn Seward
Written Oct 17, 2008
Side of the road —
the flat tire is placed
against the car.
An old broken poplar
leans hard on another.
The senior gent
raises a knobbly cane —
passing bus.

this one is really interesting -- for some reason, it makes me tired - wanting to lean on my bed. :)
Was just thinking the other day about two maples leaning over the trail - the next good wind and they'll be down. Good images portrayed here Vaughn.
love it
john
great imagery, i agree.

I played a game with myself on this one - trying to spot the links before reading your reveal. I noticed a couple myself.
Good one - familiar images that we've probably all scene, but somehow they become more real and more memorable when you capture them for us.
you really paint a picture with such few words!
Devika: Thanks.
Andrew: :-)
Janice: Yes, this was inspired from a trip to Jerry's farm in late August. I was intrigued by an tall old tree that had succumbed, no doubt, to the bad storm we had this past spring.
John: Thanks.
Polona: Thanks.
Bill: This is a brilliant verse and connects well with this Renhai. Thanks for sharing, I love it.
Jem: I'm glad you tried working out the theme and links. You've inspired me to post these Renhai more like we did last year's Rengay project, see here:

From now on, I'll post just the Renhai and the comments on the following day. Thanks!
GZ: Many thanks!
The moral of a gentlemanly gesture: Don’t try to lean on a passing bus!?:)
Borut: LOL
