when red stalked the earth
righteous men preferred to dress in blue
time of great mirth?
(for justine’s eclectic corner #8)
like an iceberg, broken away
i drift, dwindle, diminish
current taking me away
others float, others diminish
my path uncharted
where will i finish
will it ever end, or just diminish
fade away, or, as it started
end, in
collision
(for mara’s poetry 101 rehab)
fresh tracks
real life
eschewing, what’s not, to be
seen, as
heaven, on earth?
(for wordpress weekly photo challenge – fresh)
there was once a young man who flew a kite
who knew that nothing he did was right
he tried, oh he tried, to be heard
it wasn’t until the third
that he saw the light, and knew he was right
(a limerick for mara’s poetry rehab – right)
(and for lucile’s the photo 101 rehab – the clinic)
*shot with nikon d700, 50mm f/1.4 lens and…no editing in any app at all*
fifteen minutes, is
a lifetime
or
a just, a few
minutes?
(for wordpress weekly photo challenge – wall)
do you remember how it felt in november
never a thought given to being a member
of that, most exclusive, club
can you remember, oh that is the rub
eventually, when you think it may
soon be time, to
pay
(for mara’s poetry rehab – second and lucile’s photo rehab)
*shot with nikon d700 with nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens, edited using adobe bridge, photoshop cc and analog efex pro2 with wet plate and double exposure filters applied, not a second to lose*
weaving, back and
forth
his memories clashed
coalesced
the smell of those sneakers
melded and
left him
remembering, how once he knew
where he
fit

why’re we
here, he
thought
trapped, in a web of
our own
making, or
had he fallen, and
changed into,
what?

Sitting up, his eyes
excoriated by
the searing light,
he remembered
more.
A shout, just before he tripped, the barking, of
his dog.
And now,
now,
he was trapped, tied,
as tightly, as if by
wire.
