Clinging

Clinging to the past
Tendrils climb towards winter sun
Blue Morning Glory

Fighting the onset of frost
Spent blossoms soon memories

In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #28: Clinging

Author: Dancing Echoes

I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path. Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

  4. Nothing captures fleeting time more than the Morning Glory, and I like how you introduce its clinging nature.

  6. Mmmm… rushing the spring with a beauty deftly ephemeral. Lovely imagery… and metaphor?

  7. Thank you. Absolutely a metaphor. It could represent the passing of youth, to which I can relate as a woman in her mid-fifties. But I primarily wrote it about a family member suffering from Alzheimer’s.
