Day Nine: “Double” — Rotate Your Image

Your twin sisters. Your neighbor’s two poodles. Your vision during a dizzy spell. Your doppelgänger. Double can be interpreted in many ways.

Two for the Double (WP Developing Your Eye II)

“I think I am seeing… double!!!”

Swans by the Double

What do I spy
With my own little eye?

Gliding on the waters
No, not sea-otters
Oh, my ears are ringing
Because
Two swans a singing
And a fly
In an apple tree

An homage to the Swan, the national bird of Finland

“The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood” Heinrich Heine

Swans

Majestic and regal
Equal to an eagle
A bird of the royals
Worthy of the nobles

Beauties in flight
Whitest of knights
From the blue skies
Watch the dive

The black swan
Swimming at dawn
Her dark shadow
Contrast to snow

“If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning” Mae West

Double Shots

Doing double shots
My eyesight soon a blur
Waiting for what might occur
Am I imagining things
Or is that really a bird with wings
Ancient tech
What the heck!
Mannequins of all shapes and sizes
Men in frocks
Or mummies in smocks
I need to cool down
And drive down town
Maybe just a dip in the pool
Make use of a communications tool
Invite some friends
Use my lens
And to snap a few more shots, double shots!
