Wow. What a cool perspective on this picture. This looks like a fun meme. I'm going to check it out after the holidays.

It's time again! The week doesn't move fast enough to get to Magpie Tales' challenge. I love these! No restrictions except keep it short and clean. Sign up and give it go.

Squall, 1986, by Andrew Wyeth
Clearing skies,
The squall had passed.
Coats empty now
Dripped and waited.
Watching the path
One, two, three
The empty pegs cried
Watching the sea.

Enjoyed this.

Yours words speak well- that is just what I'd be doing- given the chance- to just stare at the sea!

Waiting .... so agonizing!

In the calm after the storm, it's not over yet? Oh, dear.
