Grave Discoveries

For Experience Writing October Photo Challenge: GRAVE

There was a storm in this cemetery and several of the gravestones were damaged.

I think that Charles’, who died in 1859 at the age of 32 now has a sort of edgy if not cool  headstone to tell the story about a young man who left this world in the prime of his life- and it was authored by Nature herself.

I wonder if 10 year old Seneca Emigh was named for the ancient Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger, With a such a dignified name who would have Seneca become? It’s sad that his story ended before it had a chance to really start.

Good Neighbors

In response to WP Prompt: What makes a good neighbor,  I’ve posted these lines from Robert Frost’s poem Mending Wall from 1914.

Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father’s saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, “Good fences make good neighbors.”- Robert Frost

This weekend I think I am going to wait for something spooky to happen and if nothing spooky happens I’ll probably eat Tacos and go to a couple of graveyards and look for someone who died on my birthday which is November 5th.

Wait. That’s a silly plan. I don’t really like Tacos. I’ll make enchiladas instead.

1912 Was Different

The Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge: Broken
There are groups that clean and repair aged and damaged tombstones. Nobody
is going to fix this one. That is sad, but I think it’s told it’s story. Most stories
come to an end and they stay that way.

This tomb had nobody left to care for it, so it’s falling to dust bit by bit.  Relationships

are like that, aren’t they?

This gravestone isn’t broken like the ones above.

Baby Boy Floyd was born in 1912 and he died on the same day.

What broke on that day in December back in 1912 isn’t buried here- things like that are never

really able to be laid to rest. They live on and haunt us.
