Walking on Friday: The FloodR relief road or River Fergus walk. Ennis/ Clarecastle.Co. Clare

This poem from Whatever You Do, Just Don't is for anybody who's had to clear a house, who's found objects that must have had significance for someone no longer here to tell their story....

Hadn’t written for today’s #PoemsAbout #OutAfterMidnight but got inspired coming across this lovely artwork by Josiah @lessethereal.bsky.social Combining the two prompts. For @completethehaiga.bsky.social @thebrokenspine.co.uk #completethehaiga 155 #prompt #haiga #haiku #senryu #tanka #Oulens

For this week's #PoemsAbout theme #OutAfterMidnight from @thebrokenspine.co.uk More Keats than clubbing...
