A repost because I love this one to bits. Pictured is Ashton (nicknamed Moo-Moo; no idea why) with his mother Hilary and her boyfriend Shawn in Raglan Harbour. I love that place, I really do.
Caution ramble alert caution ramble alert lol
Nice and short and sweet, and so very very true for so many people J.
I'm so guilty of that exact dilemma.
Some people just dont really want to let go of their solitude, even if it gets terribly lonely. But then my attitude is to absorbed, like I said to a dear friend a number of weeks ago, who likes to think shes cupid, at a dysfunctional time you create further dysfunction, I recognise this,, and told her to try again in 2012 lol. Besides at my age (the limbo of thirty something) you learn along the way precious people can be held onto much longer as friends. lol, Man I am so in love with so many of my dearest friends... If we ever dated, we'd be wanting to kill each other in a year..... lol cause I know I'm a cohabitational nightmare, and fate worse than death partner lol,,,,,,,, But I'm the bestest friend ever.... So I have been told.
O I do love your writing, it rings pretty triangles and wind chimes in my ears.
Ahhhh nice really.
Loving write J, as to the image, the darkness ofthe background, adds to the poems sadness, but i have to agree that it is pretty distracting, a beautiful place to be though. the darkness and the innocent reflection of the child is awesome. Smiling at you, Tai
Gosh, hate being the voice of dissent. Lovely photograph yes. Lovely poem yes. But do they work together. Not for me. The poem is so simple, understated and delicate that the eye-catching photograph detracts. I find my eyes focusing on that cute little boy and the reflections in the pool. If the photograph is the main objective than maybe the poem isnt so important but for me they arent balanced.
this is definetely an intresting piece. I think the poem is really enhanced by the photo too. i love the idea that you are just being their for them instead of trying to be something you can not.
First of all, thanks for reviewing my poem. I love what you said.
Secondly: Wow. This is great. This is the first thing I've read of yours, and I'm already impressed. The first line is absolutely beautiful. The poem short, which I love because it means the words must be very deliberate. Each holds a certain meaning and impact. I love the structure of the poem. I also like how you placed a photograph with it. I'm a big fan of pictures. I think the photos people take--like poetry--reveal something about their soul.
