Day Five_ Imperfect

* We find faults in ourselves, in others, and in the world around us all the time. Today, write a poem about the imperfect nature of someone or something, whether you accept these imperfections or complain about them, try to fix them or celebrate them.

“Me, myself and I”

Imperfect Me

Past tense

Imperfect
Useless to object
The mirror
Truth reflects

Between tenses

Hiding
In the shadows
Finding
My own place

Dark images
Hiding blemishes
Trying to be
Perfect me

Present tense

Imperfect me
Exists
In the daylight
Also

Accepted
I am
Imperfect

imperfect-me

Day Five: “Moment” — Capture Motion

* Our lives are made up of big events and tiny moments. Life is fleeting, and oftentimes it’s the small moments, this motion, that we love to document.

Moments for WP Developing Your Eye II

“In my photographs it is apparent that there was no posing at the moment I released the shutter” Jerzy Kosinski

Happy

Sad face
Feeling crappy

“Don’t worry, be happy”
She said

And jumped off the sofa
Sprinkled fairy dust
The scent of ambrosia

“In this you must trust!”

And in a wink of an eye
Without a goodbye
She was gone

Lingering happiness
Replacing the crappiness
And finally
A smile on my face

happy

Day Six: “Solitude” — The Rule of Thirds

Today, let’s capture solitude: the state of being alone, or a lonely and uninhabited place. What does this word look like to you?

“Solitude standing” Suzanne Vega

One Winter’s Day 

Break time
Nothing but time
On my hands
No other plans

Cool sea breeze
My hands freeze
Trying not to sneeze
Uttering, “please”

Let this break
Be over soon!

Day Five_ “Connect”

* In this age of social media, we hear the word connect often, don’t we? Connect with us on Facebook! Connect with me on LinkedIn! Given what today’s technologies can do, it feels like the world is getting smaller, and we’re more connected than ever.

“Call me on the line, call me any day or night” Blondie

Call Me

“Use the phone:
Just dial the numbers!

No Twitter
No Facebook
No Instagram
No damned text messages!

That’s it:
Use your fingers
Push the buttons
Numbers
One by one
Put the receiver
Against your ear
Can you hear
The ring tone?

That’s it!

Use
Your
Own
Voice

And just,
Call me!”

On a Road to Nowhere

On the road to nowhere
In a hurry, to get there
I would rather be elsewhere
But instead
I want to go everywhere
I want to get
Connected
