pic-a-thon II

[Tathagata]

It really is great Randi - I love the sort of shadow effect.

Good stuff!

See??
I wasnt lyin'

 

[minsue]

Be gentle, it's my first (picture poem) time.


"Arielle Fades"

Wow

Seriously

You are going to submit that, right?

 

[minsue]

Help! I've been playing with this, but there's something about it that's just not right and I can't place my finger on it.

Any suggestions at all would be so greatly appreciated (including "just drop it", if it comes to that...).

It looks fine to me except for that ' shadow effect" on the letters
makes 'em look kinda 3d-ish

Thanks, Tath. When I don't like the words and I get stuck, I have a tendency to start playing with the text instead. I've messed with the formatting on that so much I forgot the shadow was even still there.

water droplets

yellow leaf suspended at the bottom
of a mini waterfall

waited 20 minutes for the perfect lighting to return
eating granola

 

[annaswirls]

do us part

two trees
long dead

twisted together leafless, branchless
supported each other
(or perhaps died starving in the other's shade?)

now support for vines
which seem to be doing fine

 

[annaswirls]

sunset

voltage, high power
runs through pristine wilderness
pardon this interruption...

proving anything may be beautiful
in the right light

 

[annaswirls]

what is a limpet?

the limpets under toe
from circular symbiosis


cling tightly in the key of G

Nice.

You know he used to practice on the Brooklyn Bridge--which is the one in the photos.

I did not. But I can understand why he practiced there. Beautiful bridge.

 

[Liar]

simple poem, but worked sweet with a pic imo...

 

[annaswirls]

very nice Liar!

first three shots
white cotton folds
close up blur
lens pointed in

when I turned it around
this is what he took...


attachment name should be
something like:

my painter baby's first photo (saved into the same folder as mom's sunflower leaves)

 

[annaswirls]

he is my baby, well 3
but having said that
and that he took these on his own
my humble mother opinion


I think he has an eye
for color
and
layout

now to figure out how to focus the damn thing

 

[annaswirls]

she does not recognize us anymore

 

[annaswirls]

don't look now better be good, eyes hide and seek you cross my line of fire. blink.

 

[annaswirls]

spend my days rearranging trees by sheer will occasional updraft don't be afraid it only means what you want it to mean nothing is inherent

Behind door # 5

Every city has a corner
where they look at you
gawking at them

It's rude, you know
because they
feel your disdain
worse, false sympathy

They're better off
if you ignore them
maybe they'll disappear

Or become descriptive enough
that you'll strike brilliance

A muse for film at Sundance
stark art in black & white
dregs of life city snapshots
and birth new pity poetry

Behind door #5
you're safe, warm
you love and are loved
but are only a paycheck
away from living on the outside

 

[annaswirls]

where I stand
when I stop the sitting

[Angeline]
