One Single Impression prompt ~ desert or deserted
~
A barbecue area under shady boughs
Without the sizzle of onion scents
And bubbling voices
Somehow seems like
An oasis party that
Should be
Could be ~
But is just
Desert echoes of
Possibly
May be
Might be
Deserted

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

This makes me think of a mirage of summer!
I like to imagine the sounds and scents of past picnics whenever I visit parks. So much pleasure, such good karma!
This is lovely. It evoked a kind of "ghost" party for me as though the space holds memories of what was and/or will be. Nice.
I just loved this Gemma. Reminded me of just this past Sunday when we drove around to three different parks before we finally FOUND one of these deserted oases. What fun we had.
i love how you tied the prompt to the photo!! very nice....
I love the rhythm to this.
your words are hauntingly beautiful...reminding me of places i've been off-season where you can actually hear the echoes of other times in the deserted silence
