Linger a While

Rather than writing a new post today and burying the Invitation to Poetry I posted on Monday, I invite you to scroll down or click here and re-visit that post with the abundance of beautiful words offered by others and linger for a while. . .

A deep heartfelt thank you to everyone who has shared so far. What fun to see how much is evoked in a single image.  Feel free to keep leaving your responses in the comments or by sending me an email and I will add your words to the body of the post.
