Inspired by the photo from sepia Saturday.
This photo is one hundred years old and is of the Dughi family store in Raleigh, North Carolina. The photograph is part of the collection of the State Archives of North Carolina.

    I enjoyed your poem. Isn't it amazing how we've all been inspired by that photo - but in so many different ways?

    Nancy said it for me! Maybe a psychology student can do a study on how people can make so many different associations all based on the same starting point. Could be a further development of the Rorschach Test :)

    I guess all your poem needs now is a jingle to go with it.

    I loved your poem! You totally captured the essence of the picture.

    Hot roasted potatoes sound great this morning.
