Lynn’s Tuesday Picture Prompt Week 32

Our Week 32 picture is pretty much what it shows. An old derelict piano in the snow. If I remember correctly, Lynn snapped the picture near the hamlet of Washago.

Glen is the host of LTPP

Summer months, we played outside.
That old time rock and roll
Our snow bleached piano, snow covered now.
Empty wooded seat waiting
A monument to a time gone by
When having fun cost nothing
When neighbours came carrying food
At the sound of the keys
We played into the night.
With fire bright, under a starlit sky
If you could hear that old piano now
The sound would be a sigh.
A wish blown on to the breeze.
For warm hands to play its keys once more…

    Summer hights and a piano. Nothing better. Winter nights and a piano a promise of summer. Well done, Anita.

    Lovely Anita…I do love snow as long as it doesn’t linger. We had about half an inch earlier in the week and it brightened the place up…hugs
