CREATIVE ARTS WEEKEND - PICTURES CAN BE POEMS
CREATIVE ARTS WEEKEND - PICTURES CAN BE POEMS
Can we create poems from pictures? Alfred Joyce Kilmer did.
Let's be creative and post one of your pictures (photo, painting, drawing) and create a short poem about it. Any other relevant comments are welcome too.
RED BOX RULES: AN IMPORTANT REMINDER
From time-to-time, I should remind all members of NT, etc., that when posting photos, artwork, etc., it's important, when posting, that you own, and/or legally represent the licensing, copyright, etc., of what you post, and TO PROTECT YOUR WORK, TO INCLUDE YOUR COPYRIGHT SYMBOL/INFORMATION; and/or, WHEN POSTING COPYRIGHTED PROPERTY BELONGING TO PARTIES OTHER THAN YOURSELF, TO …
• BE SURE YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO POST, TRANSMIT, etc, SUCH PROPERTY, and,
• IF/WHEN SUCH PERMISSION HAS BEEN GRANTED, TO PROPERLY AND CLEARLY ATTRIBUTE THE COPYRIGHTS TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNER(S).
VERY IMPORTANT … IN THE FUTURE, I WILL REMEMBER TO POST THIS CAVEAT REGULARLY.
Thanks, A. MAC

I guess I'll go first.
Haiga is a Japanese painting style that incorporates a haiku. This is my version of a haiga that I recently created using a haiku I wrote with one of my photos.

Beautiful. You beat me to the post. LOL
Lovely visual and poem!

A misty moon does promise Man
A future place to one day be,
A goal that yesterday began
With only dreams of destiny.
.
New life emerges innocently
And what in the world then did it see
A world of strife and conflicts be,
It said "I want to go back in the tree".
.
Please post whatever that you desire,
To be a poet you need not aspire.
I love your moon poem and photo. Great job!
A wave washes
over golden sands
frothy residue
plays in the wind
traces of limu outline
the passage
of time
kahelelani
decorate
the morning tide

(A poem from 2017 -
"limu" - Hawaiian for seaweed
"kahelelani" - a rare type of Hawaiian sea shells from Ni'ihau that sometimes wash up on a remote beach on the north shore of Kaua'i)
As you know, I've been there.
I like the way your words and the picture flow together!

Arvo...got a bung eye at the moment so this is my poem..
Woke up this morning with a pain in my eye..
So had a look and discovered a stye..
It is quite red and angry looking,
Not much you can do so no point sooking..
Got some drops and a warm compress...
I am hoping the swelling will soon be less...
So now I watch tv with only one eye...
It really is enough to make this Aussie sigh...
To watch TV did only made you sigh.
The news is such these days to make one cry.
Waterfall, nothing can harm me at all,
my worries seem so very small
with my waterfall.
I can see my rainbow calling me
through the misty breeze
of my waterfall.
Some people say day-dreaming's
for the lazy minded fools
with nothing else to do.
So let them laugh, laugh at me,
so just as long as I have you
to see me through,
I have nothing to lose 'long as I have you.
Waterfall, don't ever choose your ways.
Come with me for a million days,
Oh, my waterfall.

Gotta love Jimi! Well done!
Best rendition of The Star Spangled Banner ever played on an electric guitar.
Did Jimi take the waterfall photo as well?
It's now past midnight on the west coast and so the Creative Arts 3 Day Weekend is now finished. Thanks to all who voted up the article, and to those who submitted something creative, and as well to Perrie for cleaning up the Comment Wall. I'm sure A.Mac will be here next weekend.
