It is such a learning curve being a new parent….a new baby is definitely an experiential life lesson.
I love taking pics when I’m out and about. I’ve always played with the idea of combining my poetry and art.
This poem always come to mind….
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?
Just back from a cruise…..I can say without a doubt….I looooove beaches! Mountains are gorgeous to look at, photograph, sketch but there is something about soft sand and clear waters that I find too alluring to resist.
That said….clear waters have to be part of the equation…..I want absolutely nothing to do with a filthy beach and murky waters….I don’t want a pebbly beach either.
Mountains are picturesque…..I’m not much of climber….so definitely not climbing any mountains!
Seeing through the eyes
Of a newborn by using
VR is something

Seagulls swoop greedy
Tidbits from unsuspecting
Hands to fly away

This time I superimposed my poem over a video of me dancing with reckless abandon.
Funnily enough I wrote this poem years ago about reckless abandon and finding yourself. What gives?
Performance poem titled ‘gossips ‘
Day1…..more performance coming…..
Blank moments; losing words
An intrepid dissipation of ideas
Buried deep in my psyche
Bubbling to the surface
Seeping through the cracks
Spilling over onto pages
Poetry might just save me

The drone of footfalls thudding,
The scrape of feet shuffling
In automaton …marching orders
Keeping in line with the unspoken rule of space invasion… packed in trains…ready for shipment to the humdrum of wages and taxes
Finding solace in the journey by trying to be oblivious to the march …full volume music through earphones
Inescapable…shackled by a mindset of own volition
Bolstered by excuses…bills to pay.
Time out is a good thing… a necessary break…coming up for air
…I blog to escape the mania of this ‘rat race’
