last rock
before miles of ocean
reach a bigger rock
words: mandy smith
photo: phill deason
in response to the rocks theme at One Deep Breath.
The photograph is of Nag's Head on St. Agnes, Isles of Scilly. It is said to be the last piece of England seen by sailors heading to North America.

Lovely post. The information is priceless and the words/photo terrific!
Very Clever!!
I cannot imagine what that must have felt like for sailors or immigrants leaving and seeing that for perhaps the last time. Great piece.
Wow, just beautiful picture. Thank you.
Wonderful poem. Thanks for the back story on the rock, too!

a pause of sadness of loss before moving onto the next adventure...your few words capture that poignancy so well.
what a great post!...in so many ways..
it has that element of sadness, and the unknown of adventure...loved the words and the picture is great!
ooh, like that a lot.
An important milestone!
Nice to know.
I really like the surprise the last line conjures. It is what haiku is all about.
