Sue’s Photo prompt.

I found it quite hard to think up something for this one, but here goes!
A family
There once were three
Now there’s nothing leftA calamity
Took their dignity
And no one has confessedA community
presumably
Are now feeling bereftFutility
They cannot see
This happen to the restRitu 2016

Monday is Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge… Check it out here.

The prompt words, Fresh & Wind
A selection…
Wind
A stench, not so fresh
Is lingering in the air
Oops! Pardon me…Wind!Hayfever
The freshly cut grass
blowing pollen through the wind
not great for hayfever!Awakening
A crisp breeze blowing
Refreshing my memories

And this is my take…
