I recognise and admire your devotion to the 575 form, but this haiku without the last 3 words makes my heart skip a beat

it's a runaway wagon

I got a note

Pensive Mary quietly rests and feeds her baby on the way to Egypt, before a completely amazing landscape that includes lots of thwarted idolatry & miracles! By Joachim Patinir of Antwerp, whose day is today.

I didn't notice the robin as I took this.

I fear Tom Wharton would't be happy about the state of his beloved 'Owls' at the moment.

Sheffield Wednesday fans raised money to install this gravestone in 2020.
A modern black gravestone bearing the crest of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club (which features an owl). A robin is perched on the corner of the base.

#31DaysofGraves (languages)

@wardsendcemetery.bsky.social ( #Sheffield ) has fewer use of other languages than many sites in the city. This example of Latin (Resurgam = I will rise again) is an exception. It's an apt declaration of faith for a scripture reader who died in church during a service
Two images. 1. A newspaper cutting with a photograph of a young man wearing a surplice and holding a book (perhaps a prayer book or a bible). 2. A grey gravestone in the form of a cross, listing details of the Goddard family. A gravestone in the form of a cross with other graves and trees behind. The ground is covered in dead leaves.
