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.
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.
🤣🤣🤣 this is definitely how I work in a kitchen!
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
