Clouds

Clouds

I look to the sky.

The clouds catch my eye.

Beauty from on high

displayed today.

White against the blue

forming shapes anew.

I enjoy the view

then walk away.

This is a Welsh form called cyhydedd hir.

Stars

Stars

These stars are

found near the ground.

They are the color

of the sun and

dance to the rhythm

of the wind

in the center

of a flower.

They shine

on their own,

not dependent

on the darkness.

The Artist Sees

The Artist Sees

the shapes of the leaves.

the patches of color.

the lines entwined.

the darkness of the bark.

the tilt of the trunk.

the painting in the trees.

Patterns

Circles, triangles and squares,

patterns are everywhere.

They happen by

circumstance and design.

Do we recognize the

patterns in our lives?

Graphic

When I hear the word graphic, I think of graphic artists, design, shapes and lines. So, when I saw that  graphic was this week's Wordsmith Studio Creative Prompt, I headed out to one of my favorite subjects.

This tower is in my neighborhood and on my morning walk route. As you can see, it is the place to hangout at breakfast time in the bird world. I often photograph the birds sitting atop it, but I also like to photograph the different shapes made by the tower itself and the intersection of the various wires. Feel free to play "Count the Triangles", but I warn you, you will see more and more the longer you look. Even tiny ones count!

Thanks to Carol Early Cooney for this week's prompt. What do you think of when you hear the word graphic? Leave a link to your interpretation in the comments on the prompt post.
