Sealed-off door at 8 North Jefferson Street in Roanoke, Virginia.

Facing Shenandoah Avenue.  2026.

The building was originally constructed at the start of the 20th Century as office space for Norfolk & Western Railroad.

The building on the corner is 8 North Jefferson Street.

The old Raj Food Mart on Shenandoah Avenue, Roanoke, VA

This is from a few years ago, before the bodega was remodeled (and maybe under previous ownership?).  This is a stone’s throw from Peters Creek Road.

The Piker Press publishes “An Ode to a Would-Be Swimmin’ Skink”

The Piker Press today published my humorous nature poem, “An Ode to a Would-Be Swimmin’ Skink!”  For those of you who are uninitiated, a skink is a little lightning-quick iridescent lizard common in the Southern United States.)  And they even ran the photo I submitted with the poem!  (I snapped a shot of the little fella off Shenandoah Avenue here in Roanoke, VA.)

You can find the poem and the photo right here.  Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful community of readers, writers and artists.

Happy Monday!  🙂
