    This is so simplistic. I can totally believe in sitting there visiting a friend or loved one. Since it’s Springtime, I’ll apply for the job of painting that fence and rest on that chair when I need to.

    peace

    Such a desolate looking place, but hope in your haiku.

    Wow. The photo tells such a story…with the chair sitting there and then the haiku adds even more. Nice work!

    So many good things going on in this shot… the fence, folding chair, headstones… a real sense of loneliness. Beautifully captured.

    Well…Spring is the season for resurrections. Doesn’t look like a very comfy chair to wait in though…

    Love that little fence. I have pictures of a wrought iron fence in the old cemetery in our little town. I’ve been tempted to use it for a Friday’s Fences post, but haven’t done so yet.
    Thanks for visiting and commenting at These Days!

    Awesome MMT. What a wonderful haiku. I love this one very much. Waiting on Spring and maybe resurrection. Easter? Or the resurrection of nature? I think you talk about nature’s resurrection.

    Namaste

    Looks like someone is waiting but not necessarily for spring! Interesting shot.
