WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menolyrical; Words for Words' Sake

A break from photographs.  Well apart from the prompt for this ditty...

 Once upon a time...























Once, 
a time on up
a tree lived me.
High, high, high 
it was, then, 
the storm before.

Now, 
shreds to shorn
I am, 
and tumbled,
distant from trunk-home
and safetree.

Care I? 
Jot a knot!
Freedom is there
to dance 
and curl
then on and on,

to merge 
grass with,
to mud 
sink in,
to petrify; 
feeding the Greater I.

    Very nice - I can't write "short form" stuff at all - everything takes too long to say in my head, and that shows on paper (or screen!)

    Arizona was a great place - but I think I was troubled by the speed and "consumption" of the place - "This way for the best view" kind of thing. A slower pace my have helped - but I'm not sure that would have taken away the feeling that things were being forced onto a landscape so that people could claim ownership. Who knows.

    cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
