Empty-
winter’s breath
shudders against silver phalanges
kitten gray bark cracks
for another year.

Enough-
too many winters
too many losses
deciding no more
Cold-
a dream be warm and green
Enough
of shrinking space

force below
eruption
from the molten belly
Sending the grove uprooted
into the sky threatening of snow.

To a warmer place
where leaves never fall

A place better than here.

Just a little note: I found this while stumbling one night and I just looked at it for awhile. There was something about t that struck a cord with me. All night I thought about the painting and the following day, I wrote a poem based on it. One of the differences are my trees are bare while his are lush. I think it was the grove soaring into the air to a better place. I hope you enjoy the painting and find it as inspiring as I did to view more of his work visit this page http://www.tendreams.org/olbinski.htm

Thanks

Years later the boyfriend really wanted a camera. But we had to buy something with a parallel port because his computer was a little older and didn’t have USB. I found one at Kmart for cheap. It was a compact digital camera. It was okay , there was no flash so the best pictures were taken outdoors in sunlight. It also held only 11 pictures and there wasn’t a slot for flash memory. We took it to Maine and took some nice pictures but I still used film. When Sunshine was born, we found an incredible deal on the Kodak Easy Share printer, once we bought the printer we bought the Kodak Easy Share to go with it. After we got this camera, I loved using it.

I do have a dream camera, a Canon SLR camera they are very expensive especially the new ones but this would be similar to the Pentax I cherished so much. Of course, I don’t see myself turning pro but it is an interest I would like to develop more. I do read some stuff on the web about technique and I enjoy looking at photographs. Maybe if this writing things doesn’t pan out, I will be a photographer instead.

Have a picture perfect day.

cowering in sun dusk
melted steel
lacing through
corridors.

Images slow to recover
from haze sent by reprimands

Damned is the day
that doesn’t hold its end of the
bargain of pleasantness
and

Damned is the day
that is today.

Pedophiles once they are caught should be monitored at all times with GPS tracking. I don’t believe they can ever be reformed. If they did it once more than likely they will do it again. Sure there is Megan’s Law and most states have a Megan’s Law website where people can find out if any pedophile is living near. That doesn’t stop the pedophile from hanging out at the local park, looking for kids, gaining their trust. They are not supposed to be there anyway but they don’t care. Law enforcement already uses GPS to track persons under house arrest. Company vehicles that are driven on company time. There is logic behind this because the company is responsible for you and the car if something happens to either one, they would want to know exactly where you were.

GPS tracking on employees is a invasion of privacy. If the employee gets the job done and does it well, it shouldn’t matter what they are doing in their off time. In my opinion monitoring people, unless they are criminals is a lack of trust. Sure if you are a parent knowing where you child is at every moment might be reassuring but if you taught your child and trust your child then you should trust the child. Same with an alleged cheating spouse, if you believe your spouse is cheating but you don’t know with whom track them only to find out nothing.

Using GPS shatters the trust between people. When trust is broken because of suspicion where does that leave us?

I have managed to write 2 poems. One I will post later on and the other I will post as soon as I get permission for an image. Be sure to look for that sometime soon.

Only 3 people sent in a line for Exquisite Corpse I really would like to make this successful remember I dropped the linking requirement so all you have to do is send in your line and I will post this Friday. The theme is heat and the line rule is adjective, noun, noun, verb. All this will change this Friday and there will be a new theme and line rule.

Have a nice night.
