A sidewalk is a street for feet
With one for cars nearby.
My mind takes detours off and on
And sometimes when its good and gone
I let my spirit fly.
Photos: “Summer Street”, above, “Winter Street”, below. Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge with the prompt “Street Photography”. Although these scenes are more of the sidewalk, the street to the right is the main street off the set of town homes where we live.
Great poem, Frank.
I really like the way the lines of the path, trees and road in your photo make an almost geometric pattern, very nice indeed.

I was aiming for that geometry. I am glad you liked it. Thanks, Dale!

Fabulous poem. The photos looks like an excellent bit of forward planning Frank. Well done!
What is the rod attached to the hydrant?

That rod is for the snow plow to let it know where the hydrant is in the winter. I had a winter scene and then had to try to guess more or less where I stood to get the current summer one to look similar. Thank you, Peter!

Great way to think about it, Frank. I like lines and fences, so I really like that street.

There are a lot of straight lines in it. I’ve taken many pictures of that view over the years. Thank you, Dan!

This is a real charmer! Very strong, pronounced rhythm and rhyme — I would not want to arm wrestle this poem. If I did, I’d lose but be charmed into making friends anyway.
