Not that doubts would refrain from visiting his mood, from time to time.
It happened in dreams, and not so often, though. A few times his sleep, that was the sleep of the good and the just, was visited by some erratic visions, something peeling off his soul.
Just a little excess on proteins at dinner, maybe. Nothing to be concerned about, or that couldn’t be managed with an Alka-Seltzer and a chamomile tea.
This framed photo is everything I love about wabi-sabi and the passage of time! (Ken would want to get it scraped and repainted! I would fend off anyone wanting to come near it so as not to disturb a fleck of that paint!) ...sleeping so much while recovering, I overwhelmed by my many dreams (and how many I remember in detail!) They are often erratic, and to say there's something peeling off my soul perhaps describes a portion of it well!
Well found and well captured. (Referring to the image.) I too appreciate the texture. As do all of your contributing commentators. However, I cannot believe that I am alone in acknowledging the equal or perhaps even greater splender of your poem. Cannot believe that no one else has taken the time or thought to acknowledge such. You are truly gifted in that regard, as well. I loved you images and your mixing of tones. Well done in both regards, words and picture. And congratulations on making the Curated page, as well.
Another thought. I wonder if these are the line breaks of the poem, as you have written it. Or are they the line breaks imposed upon your poem by the limitations of the 365 website. I have notices that it is extremely difficult to get the lines to break when writing my comments.
@seattlite@brigette@epcello@fbailey@777margo@leonbuys83@northy@sharandrah@cjphoto thank you all very much! @taffy it’s fundamental against nightmares ;) @lyndemc thanks to you. Your feed is amazing! @yaorenliu an awful lot of work, usually... thanks! @Weezilou hope you have recovered by now! Thank you for your nice comment! @mbrutus aw, thank you for your flattering comment. I’m humbled! I would tend to consider it prose, actually... and yes, the breaks are mine. I hear you, though: the small box doesn’t allow much creativity.
@domenicododaro - There is such a thing as a prose poem. Though, I'm not totally sure where the boundaries lie. But to my amateur ear and sensibilities, it seems poetic to me.
@mbrutus this isn’t true. I have often commented on the great literary qualities of Domenico‘s posts. He’s an artist, I think, in more ways than one. Do you know that he has published with two coauthors an intense book on the Italian conquer of Ethiopia? Has it been translated into English @domenicododaro? When this COVID drama will be over you must come to Italy and meet Domenico and myself. It’s nice to make projects in dark times
@caterina You are definitely too kind to me, Caterina. I’m blushing. Unfortunately no translation yet. I should start looking for an English language publisher by myself. Apparently the Italian publisher, notwithstanding being a very good one, didn’t put much effort on developing a foreign market for the book. And YES, @mbrutus : that would be a project. These are weird times, indeed, and planning something nice is a comfort.
@domenicododaro@caterina yes, folks. As Caterina knows, I would love to plan such a trip. And I would love to meet up with you both. These are such uncertain times. Yesterday, we had to mention the possibility of our having to cancel a planned trip to visit my daughter next month to a very disappointed reaction. So let us all hope that this dark cloud may lift soon, despite the worst efforts of our incompetent president.
@helenhall Thank you again for all your comments and favs, Helen. As to your question, my experiment here is to do both: Only in #1 the words take a cue from the image. Then, the idea is to connect photo #2 to words #1 and write words #2 developing the concept in photo #1 and words #1 and so on... Much more complicated in trying to explain than in doing, admittedly. lol
Thank you for the comment shared on my eggshell image a couple of days ago. Appreciate your visit.
