Poet of the week (76)
This weeks prestigious acknowledgement goes to the extremely talented Malay Nandy +Malay Nandy for his piece on this weeks photo prompt. A short piece that superbly uses imagery and reflection to capture the attention of his readers.
A CHANGE :
A sea lies beneath the sky
Like a vast mass of land
Like a desert reaching out to an island
Like tears of water spreading across the horizon
Like a positive outlook to life, inviting a change.
