Spirits Rise


Spirits rise from ash
warriors called by ancients -
sun sets on remains.

Thanks so very much to all for your help and kind words on these several three-lined whatchamagits I've posted last couple of days.  I have much to learn, but must admit, as I was warned, they are addicting (another world has been opened to me)and now I have all  these 17 syllable, 3-line gotcha's running around in my head and was up to almost three this morning typeing some of them down and blurry-eyed checking the dictionary for syllable count...WOW some of the ways we pronounce things is a real eye opener!

Walk Easy, my friends, while I just sleepwalk the day away...
