So much madness
in the streets of life and only
so little solace
(Photo by Juliet Housewright from her upcoming blog SCHMEE JOURNEYS)
Lace curtains could never
recover from what they have seen
them do to each other

The day was opaque
before he burrowed through the pillow
to find her sleeping
In the most banal
of images there is a story
hiding inside us
they called him king Arthur
because he was the bravest wasp
and broke the glass prison
he left his pants on
the stairs as they loved in the
doorway and the floor
confessions of a priest
often fall on the ears of
a faceless image
he always played close
to home but once he left the confines
discovering it was lies
For Cara today
he thought as he drew color
from the image here
Blue blue blue blue blue
he whistled as he pushed the levers left
leaving only the blue
Reblogged this on Tracey in Maine.

Sometimes looking at something lovely really does soothe the soul. Thank you, Michael. This picture — all of them! — are simply stunning! Your stories, deriving from behind a lens, are captivating in the most transcendental of ways.
I agree with Lori: Juliet’s picture at the top is beautiful. Please extend my compliments to her. The ability to take the humble leaf and spin her beauty so that she purports majesty; not easy, I would imagine. I am excited for her journey through blogging. With you as her guide, she cannot go wrong.
Happy Monday, friend.
Happy Monday to you and thank you so much for your comments. Juliet will be so pleased to get this kind of feedback. I am always grateful for your support and I am glad you enjoyed my little shout out to “this little light”
Lace curtains and pants on stairs are my favorites
I love how the photos inspire the words – it would be a fun party game!
lace curtains and pants on the stairs is my kind of party indeed…you bring the ketchup?

Beautiful collage. The first and fourth sets are my favorites. Great visual and literary macro work on the fourth.
Thank you very much for this wonderfully thoughtful and thorough comment. I am excited we have stumbled upon one another’s work.
Cheers!
Thank you very much. I am not sure if this comment already went through but my DASHBOARD is telling me it did not (ghosts in the machine?) The 4th set was my favorite as well and you clearly have a trained eye and poetic voice to see that. Kudos and I am excited we stumbled upon one another’s work.
Cheers,
M
Thank you, and I have issues with wordpress all the time! Be seeing you

Brava Deb! Come hang out with us. We are doing Boulder today

Gosh I just love photo number one and number three. Good stuff
My sincere apologies for not responding as your comment went into my spam filter. Thank you for popping by the blog and I look forward to more of your comments
Wonderful, lovely pictures!
thank you very much…:-)
Really great color – what camera do you use? I just got a Nikon 5100, but some of mine are iPhone, and I just switched to Android, so the jury’s still out -:
IPhone 4s is easily the best camera phone on the market especially considering all the photo apps for it (not bad mouthing droids I am simply done with Windows when I can help it)
I use a Nikon D7000 and hopefully wlll get a D800 in 2013
Cool – aaahhh! Technology! It’s so addicting.
yes, and so wallet-draining!
Nice series of photos..
Thank you very much. I use photos from my week to do this each Sunday.
Love the variety of photos and I agree with Anaslene about photos telling a story. Something you are great at.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you so much. I am finding more and more this is what I do and want to do most..tell stories
Nice! I really believe that most pictures can tell you a story…and the mind is free to imagine those stories!
Agreed! This is a nice comment thank you
a man with good friends
needs little else to get by
only a lover
