PHOTO POETRY – Images and Words
San Simeon
Fishing for (Paralichthys californicus)
California Halibut
Wind drifting on the inshore shallows
two rods each
Sunsets – Out West
Open lands,
open skies
that’s the dream
and reality…
The Abandoned Cotton Gin
Workers’ voices carry
black and white newsreel plays
machinery echoes
apparitions…
Meet at the Grange
Let’s all meet at the Grange
history abounds in this country house
meeting and dancing hall…
From darkness
Light the way
let creativity burn
find your spark…
Timing
Who doesn’t like clocks
Would rather know time
To feel it…
A walk in nature
A walk in nature
to clear your troubled mind
to cure what’s ailing you…
Out West – Ode Two
Foothills to mountains
roads to trails
so many places…
Journey to Big Sur
Dark rainy central valley
In a ponder
thinking daydreaming…
Turning Points
Out of disaster
Calm
Following pain…
Old Barns
This old barn
dilapidation…
Out West
Seemingly endless wide open spaces
mountains, hills and valleys…
Poem Tree
Each leaf unique
in its own place and time…
Backroads
The highway is just fine
if all you want to do
is get somewhere…
Furrows
When the fertile soil is neatly worked
Rows evenly spaced and planted
Seeds ready waiting to germinate…
Early one morning
Early one morning
still awakening
sitting, pondering…
Light Under The Door
Keeping inside in outside out
Hold on to lasting impressions
The soul is willing though
Little escapes gravity’s pull…
Sometimes a quiet notion…
Your hand on my shoulder
My arms around you…
Every Sunset Tells a Story
A good time to reflect on our day
as the sun settles into evening…
The Trees
The trees the trees the trees
Sun hot above the canopy
Cool breeze shade green below
Flakes of sun filtering through…
I dream in Sunsets
I Dream in Sunsets
Windowdreaming
There’s a window I look out of
With a view no one else sees…
Waiting
Always keeping one eye on the light
knowing the darkness is here
right in front of us…
The Rock
The rock has a story
most rocks do
they may not tell it
so I will tell you…
