The Cell



MONOCHROME  WEEKEND

THE CELL

Though iron bars may hold me
My spirit still flies free.
I shall grow ever upward
Like the branches of a tree.

AN ARM AND A LEG
(An Acrostic)

A Carpenter in days gone by
Never merely made a chair
*
Also included were extra 'limbs'
Representing, each, a spare.
Money was scarce in those far-off days
*
And nothing was neglected;
Nothing was 'throw-away' back then;
Decades of wear were expected.
*
As arms and legs might wear out first
*
Leaving the owner short,
Each Carpenter supplied the spares;
(Greater profits, I'd have thought!)

That window is beautifully photographed.

It would have been a pity if that carpenter had to use the beautiful tree for spare parts.
