A final dance. . .

7/29/2020

Author Suzanne Burke offers another photo prompt and invites readers to respond through prose or poetry. Her “Fiction in A Flash Challenge” image for this week is an old pier.

As I looked at the photo, I imagined dancing on the pier with a lover and then returning at a much later date alone. The image carries sadness for me and the movement of time. I tried to capture those sentiments in my poem.

Such a beautiful poem, Gwen. So many have learned the feeling contained in your words. Hopefully, letting go will allow the memories to become the avenue to peace after all.
