#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘White Swan’ #February2021 @Pixabay

White Swan This is no black swan Who was once a duck, This is no mirror Hanging on the wall, This is no painting, Seen in museums. She’s a brave, white swan Travelling alone Towards the unknown, Sure to overcome Any sudden storm. The queen of the seas **** Events that are difficult to predictContinue reading “#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘White Swan’ #February2021 @Pixabay”

You cannot change theirContinue reading “#ThursdayPhotoThoughts #Tanka ‘Beware of the Vampires’ #February2021 @Pixabay”
