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

Mundane Monday

“Who can say what astonishments are hidden inside the most mundane being?”

Colour Coordination

If you want to make a statement
You need to be colour coordinated
Dressed in matching outfits
With all of your surroundings

“How about them apples, then?”

Sinking his teeth into one
He knew he had just won

“I’ll give this a full ten!”

Mayweeds

The flowerbeds’ seed
Looks like weed
But, pretty indeed
Let’s call them
Mayweeds
Even, if it’s summer!

Mushrooms

Look what the rain brought:
Mushrooms, and not store bought
Popping up from the ground
Making a squishing sound
And waiting to be found

Day Four_ Journey

* Today, write a poem about a journey. You could channel your excitement about a trip you’re about to embark on (or just returned from), comment on the mental progress you witnessed someone make, or focus on the struggles, pleasures, and extreme emotions that travel can bring about.
* Enhance your poem with a simile if you’d like — it’s a common poetic device that uses words like “as” or “like” to show similarity between two unconnected concepts.

“Never go on trips with anyone you do not love” Ernest Hemingway

A Journey to the Island 

trip-1

The long trip survived
We had finally arrived

For long the journey
Had been planned
Sometimes with moods of stormy
With many a doors slammed

But now, as I am sitting
A view in front of me fitting
My mood is calmer than the sea
And intentions anything but flee

We had finally arrived

Day Four: “Natural World” — Leading Lines

* A good photographer is a constant observer. Out in nature, we have opportunities to watch and study a scene, from big, sweeping changes — like the sky at dusk — to the tiniest details.

Natural Lines (WP: Developing Your Eye II)

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better” Albert Einstein

Silver Lining

They say
“Every cloud
Has a silver lining”

Looking up to the sky
What do I find?
Fluffy white clouds
With fluffy white lines

Developing Your Eye, Day Four_ “Bliss”

* What is your idea of bliss? Is it an image of your family, laughing at the dinner table? A state of total relaxation, while lying on the beach? Your latest painting, drying on the canvas

“Coffee: The finest organic suspension ever devised”

Another cup of Coffee? (WP: Developing Your Eye I)

“Dear, another cup of coffee for you?”

“Oh yes please,
I could never refuse
Such an offer!”
