Sunday Muse -- a "Man's Endeavor" poem
[photography by Artist, Jasper James]
A match
we might say a mate
is coming
Coming to
pair with the
poor old man
Man a million years old
Trampled by man
and beast
weather elements
hot and cold
Natives tourists
and other trespassers
Damage
one can only imagine
[Wikipedia Photo]
Old Man of the Mountain
a.k.a.
Great Stone Face
hold your breath,
artists and engineers
working modern day
Miracles
Discards,
had become old and unsafe
Old buildings
some skyscrapers
Put to rest
in, now for, this
artist's dreams
The tired and weak
stacked side by side
Safe on this mountain
Close but not too close
next to the "Old Man"
A New Horizon

Love what you did with this Jim; all the info, images and the old man in the mountain. Wonderful!
Sideways on, another startling image jolts the mind onto action, thanks for the revelation!
Fascinating sideways view of the image! The Surfside condo met the fate of the Old Man. Such tragedy!
I like the additional images ... they work well with the poetry. I also saw the woman face down in water. Couldn't pass it by. Cheers!
You put the image to good use. I'd never heard of the "Old Man" and he's already gone :(
Yeah, it sucked when the old man of the mountain came down in NH. I remember that. I like how you see the city as that fallen granite angel...
Very interesting your response and the additional photos
Happy Sunday
Much💜love
A thoughtful and introspective poem.
Something to ponder as it feels like every new story is a crumb short of good news.
Wonderful, unique response to the image. Life is a lot of falling down and attempts to rebuild.
Love the sideways version and intensity of this poem.
