Old Times

old times, and the good
white puffy dandelion
seeds blown in the wind

and falling red leaves

talking to my love
about futures, greatness planned
old times, and the good

Week 10, Day 66 – "Depth to a Page"

Depth to a Page

Simple black ink on white paper.
Just words on a page.

Maybe a drop shadow.
That seems to always add depth to a page.

<-- Revised-->

Depth to a Page

Just meaningless words.
How can I give them more depth?
Add a drop shadow?
