Birds huddled silent
About the ancient rafters
Loudly the wind blew
Ronovan writes promts this week are loud and silent. A lovely contrast to play with.

If you love haiku as much as I do you might like to participate in my own Haiku challenge, “TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge” too. You can find this week’s prompt by clicking HERE . A new prompt each week based on a common household object.

This 19th Century lion spoke to me across the ages when I saw him dusty and unloved amongst the detritus of the past.
I picked up this tin tray in Versailles and is the closest I am ever going to get owning an 18th Century Sevres porcelain tray. The glasses are early Victorian. The cake is early 21st century.

This little 19th Century rocking chair was sitting unloved at a flea market and now resides in the corner of our sitting room remembering quieter times.
