This is an idea suggested by Sabrina awhile ago"Someone posts a picture on a thread and each person writes what comes from their head looking at it...."There are no rules regarding length or style.Here is the first:

Through your eyes
I see a vision....
And though
a million miles
stand in the way,
every day leads
me one step
closer to you...
I count the days...
The changing seasons...
And though sometimes
I feel myself so close...
I am still so far away
from you,
and the life
we plan to share
someday, together...
slips momentarily from view
and leaves me lonely,
keeps me longing,
for you....
Sam

hehehello, darling! you remembered!!!! was wondering the other day, if I should remake the request...to what David said, I might add, any photographer, budding or professional, amongst us, may do this...just post a pic and see what the rest of us are inspired to write from viewing the pic itself...hmmmmm...was just thinking, would it be best to post all pics in one thread, or each pic in it's own thread? or each photographer, has her/his own thread?
have to think on that one...what do ya'll, David and crew, think?
and Sam, thank you so much for daring to step up and share the first offering!!!!!!!!!!!
perhaps, I shall have one to share, soon...have to see what is roiling in the inkwell
of my brain this evening...turned on the computer and accessed the Seasons and then got dragged away by my adorable family--my daughter, my sister, and my niece and nephew--so, the same may happen again, any moment...
take care all of you and blessed be...just blessed be...Sabrina.

Of the three suggestions, Nir  , I vote for the one pic to each thread only. I like this pic, David. I'll come back later. Great idea, by the way. |

The tree-branches almost seem to be talking... do they lean to care ... to carry someone away? destinations -- landspirit's setting free we made the wheelcarts just with that.... no longer with their leaves, as you can see, their limbs are tied with big, rumpy stumps.... staying. but, those fountain leaves will take you there where the wind is blowing high... thirty-seven places on a jet2.carpet ought to get you by.  (pulling up lame, but I do love those trees.) |

thirty-seven destinations
for fourteen pounds each
that's a vacation steal
and what a deal
unless where
you wish to go
isn't included
in the package
[best i can do this evening, myself. nice to touch base
and see all of you. off to bed is where i'm about to head]

Sam this one...and, I loved it and did feel it was inspired by knowing what the Chief and I have to live with, until we don't...thanks, Sammy...now, I really am headed off for a catnap...I think I need it...Love, Sabrina |

the day is concrete and grey
trees stripped bare by an icy wind
I'm dreaming of a Calabrian shore
warm and serene
gentle voices calling from the sea
14 pounds could get me there
wishing one of those 37 destinations
could be calling for me
bus-stops of discontent
waiting for a dream
waiting for the air to clear
waiting for my feet
to wander down the road
down where Mary sings
on Mercy Street
for wanderers like me

Thanks, David. It is a good exercise. I took a French class a few years ago and we did a similar exercise, except the object was to translate a photographic image into French prose. It is the sort of thing a person can spend hours and hours doing. Or it was for me.  |
