Notes About The Poem

Poem written in response to above images by Cendrine Mouraout February1, 2026

BOARDWALKS AND BRIDGES

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Salt-weathered planks hum under barefoot dawn wanderers— tide's breath lingers long. The bridge sighs with old stories, rusted whispers to the gulls.

Enchanting. Love it. Old structures do possess memories and tales to be told.
