Poem for Big Tent Poetry

Big Tent Poetry prompts: Write a poem about fruit.


Once Around a Mango

knifing past the pit
I slide slices from a golden half
toward a cut glass dish

shapeshifting toward summer
tongue primed by passion
I meet the second half at the sink

suck the lingering essence
from the yellow red green rind
lick juice from my life line

fantasizing Hawaii's warmth
I finger the strings of stone
on this gray winter midday

A for ABC Wednesday

A for ABC Wednesday

Abozzo is a preliminary sketch and Art is a varietal word for which  Wikipedia offers a wonderful definition. Like a fine wine, art has personal taste or undefined liking.

My preference in art relies on color with texture (readily seen in my watercolor banner) and avoids photographic style even though I love great photos, many of which are found here on ABC Wednesday.

This computer painting was produced in fairly short order last night using the Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet and Adobe Photoshop Elements. Different from that which I usually doodle, this one has a character I like so I can call it art. 

Finding it interesting to 'paint' on the computer, I also find it very difficult to do, albeit much cleaner with no brush washing and such which leaves more time for daydreaming.

Do you design arts/crafts using computer software? Do you find it easier or more difficult?

Poem for Big Tent Poetry

Big Tent Poetry offers this prompt: write an alliterative word list, leave it for a couple of days before using it as a springboard for a poem.

a small slip of ivy
the heart of ess
curls round my thumb
fashions a smile
a sense of spring
symbolic and green

the original sin
shaped by an asp
morphs to blood stains
on spreadsheets and
scripts the bottom line
of snakes in the grass

sweet and sensual
serendipitous
curves to a spiral
the siren call
of the seasonal ess
a small slip of ivy

Re-post.

Symphony for Magpie Tales

Magpie Tales #48   Each week, Willow offers an enigmatic image to draw out words.

Symphony


sweet measured spirits
breathe solo chords
beyond the face of stone

soaring notes
climb to calm the chaos
of that newest world

with a sprightly dance
they turn around,
return to the old abode

beyond the face of stone
solo chords breathe out
welcoming spirits home
