There is nothing so beautiful
As a moment offered in whole
To the act of creation
Except perhaps
One given
To love

Untaken ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #223
For the artist
Every photograph untaken
Every brush stroke unpainted
Every stanza unwritten
Every story untold
A small darkness left unilluminated
Lens-dropping a Conversation
Fragments
Of a conversation
Unheard
Of a conversation
Unheard
My mind
Fills the emptiness
Unspoken
Creates
Stories imagined but
Untold
Words ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #171
I am no Poet
Least not in
The classic Poet’s manner
Least not in
The classic Poet’s manner
I’ve never studied
What the Poets say
Nor worried much
How they place their words
Or why that way
I do not know
How to write a sonnet
I am not sure
What makes pentameter
Iambic
I hope that’s OK
Creation
No matter how many times
I look at a moment
Or a thing
I find something new
I look at a moment
Or a thing
I find something new
No matter how many times
I look into myself
Listen to my spirit
I find someone new
I remind myself
These are all
Acts of creation
Rather than discovery
Photography
Click Click Click Click Click Click
As a photographer
I have never been satisfied with
Two dimensions
A single moment in time
Or even reality
I prefer
To create
Rather than
Record
Light is my palette
A digital file my canvas
A computer my brush
And all the world
Is beautiful data
To be transformed into art
Shaping Clouds
It surprises me
Sometimes
Which words reach
Which words do not
Which pix are loved
Which pix are not
Sometimes
Which words reach
Which words do not
Which pix are loved
Which pix are not
Sometimes
I know
Sometimes not
Which will touch
Which will not
Surprised, too
Often
By how they are read
By what is seen
By others
Creativity ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #95
I love being in a place
Where creativity thrives
Where paint and passion
Offer more vibrance and colour
Than nature’s grandest sunsets
