I do love Sue’s photo prompts! She has given a beautiful door to work with this week. And I give to you, a poem made up of 3 tankas – a Trianka!
The Unknown…
What is it that lies
Beyond the ancient entrance
Cloaked in mystery?
A portal to a new world
Or simply another house?Do you dare to look?
To turn that rusty door knob?
To push it open?
To force ageing joints to creak?
To quench your thirst for the truth?But be careful though
You know not, what you may find
Like Pandora’s box
Could be a pleasant surprise
Or you may unleash a beast….Ritu 2016
Funny, but as I wrote this, all that kept on going through my mind was the EU Referendum today! We were all faced with this dilemma… do we vote to stay, and stay on this side of the ‘door’, safe with what we know? Or do we take the risk, and push open that door, to see what lies beyond the confines of Europe?
See what your Referendum has done to my mind, Government?! It’s taken over my creative process!

There is always mystery about closed doors, sometimes I sense a foreboding other times a sense of fun. All like a book, judging by its “cover,” Ritu. 🙂

Yes, I decided to vote ‘leave ‘ in the end for various reasons, but it really was a tough call. The NHS clinched it for me!
