Ailsa has chosen Shadows for her travel theme over at http://wheresmybackpack.com/2013/02/01/travel-theme-shadows/ this week. This is my response, a photo taken at Sultanhani Caravanserai in Turkey, and a quick poem.
On balance the shade is created
should some small creature have need
to escape fire radiating wall.
Justice will reign through unfolding hours
rusted metal absorbing the rays
til the wall is curtained with shade.
And the shadow that weighs
fades with sun’s last glow
and waits patient to forge a new day.
I’ve also linked to dVerse’s Poetics of Groundhog Day – Bright Shadow, thanks to Bjorn at http://brudberg.wordpress.com/

Lovely.
remarkable photo and poem, that wall looks hot!
Imagine, you can share it on dVerse as well. Theme is shadow as well.
gentle and lovely.
Lovely shot, but I like the poem even more 🙂
Lovely words specially the opening verse ~ It goes well with your photo ~
Nice to meet you at D’verse ~
Shadow, a new day and the world revolvin even with motionless objects, only you do not fail to overlook that relation. Nice!
Adding the scales and the moving shadow was good fun.
really cool progression in this…from the balance to the scale…to its symbolism of justice…and tomorrow the shadows will def return for a new day…good to see you at dverse…
Well done, Gilly. Love the photo and your poem. 🙂
This makes me think of some very hot hot places. Interesting poem and great pic. Thanks so much. k.
I like your photo, but I like your poem even more.
I think this is a great post…
Nice work
Beautiful poem, Gilly. I’ve been closed down for some unknown reason, no explanation…. so my capture the moment and so on is currently a thing of the past. I have no access to the blog – zilch – gone. I may be back, but until I know what’s going on I’ll just have to read instead……
A dual shadow. Wow.
lovely poem;, Gilly. So lyrical 🙂
Praise indeed from the Mistress of Rhyme, thank you!
There is no doubt – those are shadows. Would love to know where these were hanging … ????
In a caravanserai deep in the centre of Turkey!
Great shot Gilly. Your poem is beautiful.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
nice one…good on you for linking to dverse…I might go back myself soon
