Where do you go when the world splits?
Do you find a beginning or end to it?
Among verdant boughs budding jest
An illusive flood through optic glass

Beautifully done Dustus. Your words painted pictures in my mind as I read each line. Also the picture gave your poem a special touch.

your visual and poem work so well together. Making the mind and eyes ponder ‘where do you go?”
thanks my friend

Thanks, Leslie. I run past those woods just about everday and wanted to take a photo since all the snow flooded it out. Kept questioning how the camera would handle the reflections mid-day… glad you like it.

super beautiful photo,
cool lines…
Happy Friday!

awesome…. simply superb…
im running out of words to express the beauty of the poem Adam…
its breath-takingly beautiful

LOL I don’t think you could run out of words, Megz. Your command of language(s) far exceeds mine. Cheers. Have a great weekend 🙂
April 24, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Wow, the photograph is outstanding. You must enjoy your runs in the woodland.
April 25, 2010 at 7:10 am
I run past that spot all the time and can see it from the sidewalk. Seems like no matter what time of day, there are always vivid reflections there.
April 25, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Must be a great place to go. I often visit the woods near my home and take photos of the scenery.
April 24, 2010 at 3:49 pm
you start with a great question that can be very metaphorical and then paint it together wonderfully. nice one.
April 25, 2010 at 7:13 am
Thanks. It seemed natural to begin with a question on this one; trying to make sense of the visual overload.
April 24, 2010 at 7:23 pm
You have managed to get me to say … “WOW!”
🙂
April 25, 2010 at 7:14 am
Glad to hear it. Hope you’re having a great weekend, D 🙂

Thanks, shakira. I cannot imagine the horror of having your community destroyed by a flood. I watched the damage in New Orleans, but I am far removed from that area too. Devastatingly sad. Thanks for sharing your comment. hugs

Doing very well, Jingle. Hope you are too. Kind of a messy week for me as well. I should have everything good-to-go for tomorrow though. 😉

‘An illusive flood through optic glass’ what a great line Adam! really illustrates this image – and what a great photograph you take! The optical illusion in the pic is almost seamless – great:)
April 29, 2010 at 6:29 am
Hi Lynda! The near seamlessness is my favorite aspect of the pic. (Props to Canon for making great cameras). Hope to take plenty more photos in the next few weeks, with a couple of surprises. TY
