there is no getting
around it – sometimes,
hours can
squeeze
into minutes the
way songs
can be whipped
into cream
the way colors
can evaporate
into rain

Y,
I’m not sure which I like more, the photo or the poem. Fortunately I don’t have to choose one.
Photo:
I love pollen and the effects it can add to a photo. Sprinkled there it’s perfect. I also love the close up crop of the flower. I am curious, share if you will, but is this the way it was taken or did you crop it later? Either way, you have a great eye for placement.
Poem:
I love a line that makes you say ahh and feel refreshed with an image that pours into your mind.
This line did that for me
“the way colors
can evaporate
into rain”
Perfect line, Perfect ending…
ah but I do ramble on… Thanks for a wonderful bright spot on both photo and poem.
Peace,
Stephen
again, i love your attention to detail. i actually cropped less than a centimeter from the top and from the left, to get closer in. thank you, also, for always commenting on the writing, too! (smile) i like the idea of transformation – a never-ending cycle. everything is impermanent, but they’re also moving from one phase to another, everlasting – the way this vibrant purple leaks onto pixels, into your eyes, evaporating…
Passionately purple clematis! 🙂
ohh – thank you for naming the flower! i did not know what this was called – beautiful!
Lovely take on the colour purple…where do I find this photo blog theme!!
thank you. this theme is Monotone, but the upgrade is called Duotone, and you can find it in the WordPress Themes catalogue.
Such a beautiful picture ..I love the color of the clematis!
oh, i appreciate it! i imagine this may be a different form of the flower from your old man’s beard… well, time will tell (smile).
