Old Shed...41 total reviews
Comment from Alchera
Wow! It's 6 o' clock here in Salerno and I was really tired of reviewing when suddenly my sleeping eyes caught your unusual thematic picture and I was amazing of the selected picture and than I read your brilliant rhymed, flowing perfectly written convincing felt and real sentiment for your passed by shed and I flew back to my Australian childhood's epiphanies when we used to live in a big we'll build wooden shed. There is another poem speaking about Old Sam living in a Shed written by the Australian poet Gilmore and long ago I met and read A medieval poem called the Calf's skin by Anonymous. An amazing written poem which could only be described and really felt by a sweet, simple, natural loved soul which you really are and I am honoured of having read this morning. May God bless you, dearest sweet simple poetess!

I, too, love old buildings. Your picture added credence to the poem, but without it, I would have been able to imagine the picture. Your writing easily helped the reader to envision it. Great work.

Many thanks. This old shed meant the world to me. I used to pass it on the way to a metal detecting haunt and had passed it numerous times...each time it got a little more wayward...haha
SO glad I got a photo before it collapsed. I also had another one close to our home that I photographed both before and after it fell and I have a post coming on that later.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your thoughtful review AND 2c worth haha

great pairing of photo and poem
excellent use of abab rhyming
good alliteration in phrases like precariously perched
vivid descriptive detail that is easy to visualize
effective personification of the shed
most thoughtful reflections on the shed and what it has meant in your life :-) Brooke

LOL Well it wasn't in my life for very long, but I admired it's wayward lean, Brooke and I think I got a decent write out of it. I've had this pic awhile but I think the words gave a good visual too. Much appreciate you stopping by.

Comment from Glasstruth
That rusty shed shows that time waits for no one. As all things must end, die, so it seemed kinda sad knowing it had its time, just like some people who look back at their moments of glory. Nice smooth flow. The rhyming is excellent. Superb! Les

Comment from MelB
Very well written. I like precariously perched. The poem made me feel sad for the little shed, like it was hanging on with everything it had. Could really be a metaphor for someone who has just one tragedy after another in their life and is just barely hanging on.

Thank you...I too felt sad for the shed. I think it's lovely that a pile of rusty iron and warped timber could evoke such emotion. I truly appreciate your warm review. Many thanks. Cheers P
Comment from Autumn Splendour
What a sentimental, romantic poem of nostalgia and loss.
You put in so much emotions into a shed that could not withstand the passage of time. Yes, everything has to go including ourselves. "But nature guarantees us all an end"
Well said.
I like the cadence and the lilting flow. The overall tone is one of affinity between man and material possession. We have a tendency to hold on to material stuff and hates to give in to the elements of nature. "The dwelling I'd so fondly looked upon
Gave up the ghost..."

Comment from Joan E.
I was so glad to see your name pop up on my screen, especially since I just returned from a long trip and could have missed this post. I understand your being partial to old buildings and their accoutrements. Your poem describes their "character" well and the picture you selected reinforces the theme perfectly. Your wonderful alternating rhymes and use of personification are very effective. Cheers- Joan

Comment from Irish Rain
Awwww...I like your serious side! I love anything old also, and when they took down our old oak trees that had shaded the street downtown for years, I couldn't believe it! I love your picture here also! This is a great poem!

LOL Thanks Irish, much appreciate the sixer review and such delightful words. It seems many of us have a connection to something of that nature that is slowly fading away and leaving some very fond memories for us. Cheers P

I have the same kind of fondness for old barns and windmills. Living in New Mexico I get to see both from time to time, but many have disappeared from the scene. Patricia

Ah, I forgot to mention windmills too LOL...I took a terrific pic of a really broken down one not so long ago...it was near a car bridge so not the easiest shot to get but boy it's seen it's day. I intend to paint it sometime down the track. Many thanks for your thoughtful review. Cheers P
