Tuesday Photo-Modern Life
What image do you think represents modern life? For me, it's the keyboard. We use keyboards to type emails, text messages, to do lists, social media posts and documents of all sorts. We carry them with us, like we used to carry pens or pencils.
Thanks to Veronica Roth for this week's Wordsmith Studio Photo Prompt-Modern Life. Take your own photograph of modern life and share it in the comments at the link above.

I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.

Tuesday Photo-Out the Window
I had fun going to different windows and really taking stock of what I could see out of each one. I had a general idea, of course, but it was interesting to take a really good look at the detail. Below is my selection for this prompt.
There's still time to join in the fun! Take a photo out of a window and post a link to it in the comments section of the link above. Rebecca Barray is creating collages from the photos that are submitted.
Don't forget to check in at Wordsmith Studio's Multi-Media Blog every Thursday for a new prompt.

PAD-Week One Done
One week and seven poems into the 2012 November Poem-A-Day Chapbook Challenge at Robert Lee Brewer's Poetic Asides blog. This month, I am a veteran challenger as opposed to the rookie I was in April. I think I have benefited from the experience.
I seem to have more patience with the tasks at hand. I don't get stressed if I don't have an idea as soon as I read the prompt, which I do in the morning. At least once, I didn't have an idea until late evening; but I wasn't anxious about it. Definitely, a change for the positive.
A couple of Wordsmith Studio friends, Linda G. Hatton and Veronica Roth, stopped by Tueday's Photo post and mentioned that the photo fit with the PAD prompts to write a "left" poem and a "right" poem. I took their suggestion and wrote the following:
Right Turn
The right road isn’t
paved with perfection.
It bends and dips and
sometimes closes for repairs.
Detours take us out of our way,
but eventually bring us back
to our path of choice, both
weary and wiser.
On to week two. Stop by the challenge and see the prompts and the works they have inspired. Join in the writing and/or the reading!
