Tara McPherson, I've always been a big fan of her. I'm actually drinking coffee out of a mug with one of her prints on it. She's a bad ass artist.....

On another site I've become friends with a older man who travels around the world and writes Poetry, and articles for web site's Who goes by the Name Jamie Mck on this web site, any way I posted up a pic that I found online and he was very inspired that he wrote a poem for me about the photo, I wish to share it with you.



They hang lifeless
and still
Those swings
The children's shrieks
and laughter
Just echoes now
in the fog
drifting in to take their place
The children long gone
Packed up for the long train ride
Never to return

One swing only
Stirs
As if the ghost of a child
Is pumping
Leaning back
Re-living her past
Those days before the war

There were no swings in the camp
And no time for play
As mothers went in one line
The children in another
And there was no laughter
Or joking about
Just a long line of children filing silently
Grimly
into the cement building
with its showers
and their end
