Temporary


it was a walking aid
and only that

not a ball and chain

not an excuse

it was a walking aid

and only that

she leaned

feared to give it up

it became her excuse

her ball and chain

her support and her staff

...a stick that stifled life

F for ABC Wednesday

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 6: F is for Facts!

Fractals

Wikipedia has this to say:
A fractal is "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"a property called self-similarity. Roots of mathematical interest in fractals can be traced back to the late 19th Century; however, the term "fractal" was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A mathematical fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of feedback based on recursion.

This image is one of the first that I toyed with. It has a fractal background with a digital photo of a white daisy inserted and manipulated. I use free fractal design software to create the fractals posted on my blogs. Fascinating and easy to use, Apophysis and Fractal Explorer are my favorites. Since I've given up dusting and such, free time is far easier to find.

Poem for RWP #105

ReadWritePoem offers about seventeen words to use in this week's poem.

Neglect on a String                                                                       

stealthy as the wind

radar beams of meteors
went out into the night

the dark of moon
pulled its precious shell
into a curl around its back

pierced by steadfast neglect
she hit a dying riff, moved
through time as frail as trees

sometime 'round the solstice
telephones rang mellow chimes
while the stars began to dim

The Pomegranate

crimson drops of blood
pods like jelly in a jar
color of the first chakra
sweet perfume of summer

silky bits wait inside
the rind of tough hide
until she yearns to feed
her pining soul in times

of winter's cold and white
and with a tiny seed pod
she re-creates the heat
of summer in a jelly jar

Delphi for Sunday Scribblings

Sunday Scribblings offers Oracle as the weekly prompt.

Delphi


In the N'awlins dusk
her palms turn up
for heaven's alms.
Magenta silks wrap thick
around her neck, slick
down across her gown.

Your long fine lines, said she,
foretell a first-class life.
I cross her palms with silver.
Unforeseen, that humid night
draws the Delphi's final gig
of Danse Macabre by trolley.

Haiku for One Single Impression

One Single Impression: Prompt 89: Departed
Thanks to Loch Rob of A Small Look Inside for this week's prompt, departed.

gold and sienna
lifted away like geese v's
winter's nude branches


skins abandoned
boxes collect her blunders
skeleton keys


in late hours
mistakes moisten her eyes
tide sweeps the sand

at the cusp of then
