Greetings, Friends!   Thanks to Sumana for the wonderful photos shared with us today.  I am so thankful for all of the photos people share here in the pantry, giving us a glimpse into parts of the world we might never see!

Last week was another good week at Poets United.  Annell was featured by Sherry on Monday.  Do take a look back if you missed it!  The topic of Saints was written about for Susan's Midweek Motif.  Rosemary had a wonderful feature for I Wish I'd Written This: Pleasures of the Inbox.  She featured one-sentence poems.

Be sure to return on Monday when Sherry features poems by three very prolific women poets who often post in Poetry Pantry.  Sumana's Midweek Motif on Wednesday will be Silence!  Shhhhhh.....don't tell anyone that you can begin to write your poem early if you wish.  Smiles.

And with no more delay, let's share poetry.  Link your ONE poem below.  Stop in to the comments and say hello.  Visit the poems of others who link.  Looking forward to seeing you on the trail!

    Wow Sumana these are gorgeous...I would love to see a tea garden like that. Such beauty in these amazing photos. Cold and rainy here so I needed that boost from your photos. Looking forward to reading poems today. I have a special one dedicated to a special new friend I met recently...

    some very striking images Sumana - the whiteness of the temple, the dryness of the river bed in waiting.

      We seem to be having a similar day, Mary. The sky is all gray and gloom. If I didn't know better, I would that it's about to snow.

      We have had way too much gray and gloom weatherwise lately. Wishing to see the sun!

    Love all these pictures. The hut, the cow, and the bathing elephant are my favorites. I've never cared for the concept of tamed or trained animals, but there is such a sense of contentment flowing out of the elephant's picture that makes me think that glorious beast is having fun... and that makes me happy.

    May your Sunday be blissful, everyone.

    Those last two pictures remind me much of my summer travels. To get to the school we had to cross one of those wide river beds. Most days it was dry, some it wasn't. It was a gamble, because at that point you were several miles into the trek and if the water was running you found a way through. And have been in those huts. I lived in one this summer.

    Just spinning through to read a few.
