Poem Tryouts:

15 Dec

7:00 a.m. — San Antonio

listening to Skip scrolling through his FB wall (it’s too early for music, people)

Hello, all. I’m in the throes of Christmas stuff, although much is on hold until our daughter arrives next week, so she can participate. But various things with lights are up and if I have Christmas lights on in the house, I am happy. Ready for an image? Last week’s worked so well with no accompanying possible directions from me, that I think we’ll try it again this week.

Remember that you can ignore the central image and pick one small detail to spark a poem and the image as a painting does not have to be mentioned.

Next week we will take off — yes, you too. The following week, depends. So I will see you either the last week of 2015 or the first week of 2016. To those who celebrate the season, have a merry one; for those who don’t, the good news is you can be merry, too, just for different reasons.

Happy writing, everyone.

    Hmmm. Thought it was a lost Dali.
    (is there some old song about a lost dolly?) Need coffee–back later.

      There is definitely a Dali-esque quality about this.

    I got carried away… a bit curmudgeon-y:
    cracked critique?

      Sometimes, that’s the best kind.

    Eerie…this is very close in spirit to an illustration I’m working on for one of my compatriot Nina’s poems…and her poem also works with it. It won’t be ready until the end of the week though, but I’ll include a link then. (K)

    Another great photo prompt. I thought of those moments when I wake up and forget, for a split second, who I am.

      If I had that panorama each morning, I’d forget who I am.

      That seems to have been the general effect with this one. Interesting.
