My great-uncles, Swedish immigrant farmers, kitted out to serve in the Great War (from my grandmother's collection).

From my grandmother's album: her older brothers, my Lonn great-uncles, Swedish immigrant farmers uniformed to leave their Minnesota farm to serve the US in WWI.

October challenge. Find an old photo (preferably in a biscuit tin or an older relative's biscuit tin or wherever they keep old photos) and write a poem about it. Post both the photo and the poem on here with the #oddchallenge tag. I'll pick a selection for a #60Odd #poetry page later in the month.

This is my Dad (left) and My Uncle John (Right) on the beach in Blackpool in the late 1950s. Uncle John had driven there. He had been trying to teach my dad to drive, but gave up - no patience My dad never learned to drive.

here's the latesr #60Odd page from a prompt given on Bluesky - There will be another #oddChallenge at the beginning of October - but if you want an early preview, its at the bottom of this small collection.

Brilliant Sestina! Also, you should tag #Oddchallenge because this definitely fits that!

Sauté through a life so pure
Don't dice with death
an invitation to decline
A dash of colour will suit you well
a mist of radiance
sprinkle lightly if you must
Cut through those threads
that hold us down
and make your way
to a golden dawn
