Secret Photographer Zooming in on prey Captures with a camera Souls of innocents
Month: September 2015
I have been inspired…
by a black and white photograph on the fabulous photographic blog by Paul Militaru. Dandelion The lion’s tooth Tells me that it’s time, Its seeded clock a sign Of season’s change, Golden florets of summer Are all gone, And blowballs Have exploded Into full sphere. Many-seeded fruits Now waft away, Puffed on by a child Or […]
Now I’ve managed to capture a few poems, I can’t stop!
Autumn Sonnet September hangs like apples on a tree, Clothed in patchworks of ochre and russet, Morning mists and muted shades of sunset, Her cloudy face a solemn shade of grey. Grass is seeded and weighs heavy with dew, Capturing footprints in a damp embrace. Spiders leave intricate gossamer lace, A necklace of droplets reflects […]

I’ve got those Monday morning blues

Newgrange When I took you there Looking for inspiration In an ancient monument Older than Stonehenge And […]

Sugar Gliding Overhead In the nocturnal rainforest A possum-like creature Performs aerial displays. Dramatic, Acrobatic, A tight-rope walker, Concentrating power In its legs, Launching into flight, Opening wings of skin, Stretching legs wide, Relaxing into glide, Throwing back its head, Straightening its legs, Releasing its claws, Gripping tight, Preparing For its next flight. Image found […]
