Reminder of the Past

Susan Kimball

Reminder of the Past

Once housed art and crafts
Now hollowed reminder of the past
Color coded to forget
A life rich in elegance

I was inspired by my love for the Roycroft Inn to write this little poem. Built in 1895, the Roycroft Arts and Crafts Community had many buildings to house the artistic community and unfortunately a fire claimed one of the elegant buildings years ago and now lays in ruins.
East Aurora, NY Casio Exilim
