along our side of the farms.
Grackles and other eastern birds flit to
one side and then the edge.
Their tiny lungs filled of
spring song. These...
these uncaged songs mapped
by memory's territories
live somewhere beneath blue skies and a
habit that holds my blue- gray
eyes... still. It's in this stillness I'm headed
towards an open field and a lone oak.
Napowrimo day 5: The challenge was to write a Golden Shovel. The last word in every sentence is another person's poem word for word. Instead of using someone else's poem I used one of my own haiku called gray headed oak.

My first haiku for April's National Poetry Month. Inspired by my iphoneart of the same name: In the whisper of me.

2. Finding my voice (poetry) is out of focus lately. I hope April's National Poetry Month will spur my creativity along. So far my voice is still quiet, sigh...
3. Looking forward to getting outside more when the weather permits. I want to practice swiping (taking blurry pictures on purpose) and slowing my shutter speed down enough to make softer pictures of water, sky or movement. The latter might require the purchase of a neutral density filter.
4. Excited to spend real time with my hubby this weekend. We were separated for a month and a half because he had job training in Japan, Jan 19- Mar 1. Upon his return we both had scheduled and unscheduled events to attend. This is the first real weekend we've had to go out and be a couple again.
5. The first of March I had the pleasure of taking a Tony Sweet seminar and was the winner of a 10 photo critique from him. He gave me so many good tips on how to improve my photos. I'll forever be grateful to him. Now for winter to release its grip of spring so I can get outside and practice what he taught me.

'lowing
God's voice and grace without slant.
NaPoWriMo 2011, day 3
Not without poetry had a photograph prompt today with the words: voicing, shucked & slant. I decided to use only the words.
...I Will Die

When butterflies tickle my belly, I will die.
Tree leaves will mellow before I last sigh,
And, birds will choir where I will die.
Abrasive handfuls of dirt will baptize my eyes,
Somewhere in the Bluegrass Mountains, I will die.
A stream will pass my grave's side as it draws nigh;
Beneath an August sunset, there, I will die.
A locket of earth will hold my body's loss without pry,
From death and decay... I will die.
NaPoWriMo 2011, day 2
That Ageless Sound
It's that ageless sound
Of half broke horses
Breaking earth
Under an afternoon sun.
Of half broke horses
She's come undone
Under an afternoon sun,
These things... hidden.
She's come undone
This is all
These things... hidden,
Of dust on air.
This is all
Two hoofs breaking earth
Of dust on air-
It's that ageless sound.
NaPoWriMo 2011~
Today's prompt was to use three book titles in a poem. I used these titles:
Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls
She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
This Is All by Aidan Chambers
And, I also used a horse photo I'd taken at River Downs last year.
