(not sooc)
this is for my get pushed challenge set by @allsop - i was to use the poem "September" by Amy Lowell as inspiration... it's about the first world war...
the last three lines of the poem read:
"For I have time for nothing
But the endeavour to balance myself
Upon a broken world."
as you can see - a serious poem... i am mindful of how lucky i am to be living in a world that is *not* broken and wanted to pay proper respect to those less fortunate...
I couldn't say that the world is not broken. What goes around, comes around and it feels like it might come around any time soon. However, I sure love this pic. Fav
@lostphojo@gardencat thanks... maybe i should have been clearer in my write-up... there are definitely many many ills in this world... climate change, economical problems, hate for no reason... but i am one of the fortunate ones... the challenges in my particular corner of the world pale in comparison to some of the problems others face directly every day...
Both my grandfathers fought in WW1 in France, one of them is buried there, and the other carried shrapnel until he died. Two great-uncles are also buried in France so it's no surprise that I found the poem very sobering.
