Wood Nymph

 

by Jack Bowman ©

 

 

Splashing  in the water

Running  in the wood

The mysterious wood nymph

 

But where did all the wood nymphs go?

 

Did they die in the trenches of France?

Were they disintegrated at Hiroshima?

Did they die because of consumerism,

                   destroying their homes?

 

Where did all the wood nymphs go?

Stuck in our air polluted city

We can never  know.


 

Dedicated to Nancy Ford Cones of Loveland Ohio.  She did most of her photographic work between 1907 and 1939
