Colour Dance
waiting for sunrise,
pastel orange sky,
december's icy winter,
i watch as birds fly,
east (not south).
confusion!
a bouquet sings,
it dances,
pirouettes, flashes
excited eyes.
she worships
beauty in her
mirror, in the
morning light.
when the sun
arises, she sings
a bouquet song.
she is amazing
in wonderful colours,
that i cannot see.
her beauty blinds
me, lights in skies,
long summer days.
it pays to be
careful. staring at
the sun damages
our vision. her
overwhelming
beauty.
I make photos to make myself feel good; I share in hope of making you feel good. I do as much as I can in the camera, but it does not always end there.
Part of making an image in the 21st century is processing a captured image in the computer. This is like dodging and burning in the darkroom of yesterday. (I've done that.)
I use Photoshop cc and Lightroom cc. The result is not always what I saw, maybe what I wish I saw. Sometimes, the resulting image is a creation more than a recording. Most of the time, I keep it believable and realistic.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing and my family has had writers in the family tree. My dad loved to tell stories. But I don't think that he made them up.
I have shared thousands of my poems on the internet, to a considerable audience and I'm considering making a selection of them, in a book or books.

One really has to appreciate the sun for all its brilliant qualities and she means to us and how deeply we need to appreciate her and love her dearly.
And this is true one cannot overlook the destruction that can come in her wake when we don’t treat our whole body properly
Such an amazing picture of the sun and birds in flight eastward set in words.
I guess the question is: is the sun male or female? In English, we do not assign a gender to the sun.
We might call the moon “she”, probably mostly because the Greeks and Romans had moon goddesses.
Flowers? I guess they are she, in my head, at least, although I know that they often have both sets of organs and use insects to pollinate. OK. I don’t know much.
