My get pushed challenge was to illustrate a line from my favourite poem. I did tell my challenger I hate poetry ( I always skip poems in novels- I'm a poetry ignoramus Philistine). Unfortunately they didn't take pity on me and offer an alternative! I hate to let down a challenger, so here's my response!
My level of poetry sophistication is AA Milne or limericks, so here's one I thought was called Half Way Up The Stairs !!
Ricardo sat half way up/ down the Tudor staircase waiting for other visitors to West Horsely House to pose by the monocled, fez wearing stuffed bear, made famous in the TV series Ghosts, who was placed half way up the stairs too.
The challenge was finding stairs or steps to go with my rhyme, then getting the light right.
I vouch for the position and the bear being neither half way up or half way down . You are sophisticated to think of A.A.Milne where my mind went to Kermit the Frog.
@wakelys not Kermit but Robin, his nephew and I've been singing that song all day long in my head!! @grammyn I got some funny looks taking photos of stairs and steps !
Great story telling capture. I am a poetry lover, but not all of it. In my youth, sung poetry was very popular in Poland. This is a great way to learn about poems.
Ohhh... I love that poem!! And I still have the A. A. Milne book from my childhood (Now We Are Six) that contains it. Since I'm a mom of two boys (both of whom had the inquisitiveness of Christopher Robin- and one actually named Christopher!) it holds a great deal of sentimentality for me. It did for my mom too as apparently, I loved sitting half way up/half way down the stairs in my childhood home. She, of course changed the pronouns etc. when she read it to me. (o:
