Sylviaa gave me free reign to choose my favourite poem/s and take a photograph to represent it. Well, I do not like poetry- if there's ever any in a novel I'm reading I SKIP IT!! But this poem leapt into my head. It was a favourite of my Dad's.
I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life,
it makes the peas taste funny,
but it keeps them on the knife.
I know other 365ers are inspired by deep poetry (that doesn't rhyme so isn't a poem!) but I think this represents 2 things. My intellectual shallowness and my commitment to high end photography by getting up early to catch the sun.
Fav for a great shot, simple & effective, and text. Is it from Winnie the Pooh I wonder? I think those peas are petit pois; I do like poetry ( even when I can't understand it); I do not believe you are intellectually shallow.
@quietpurplehaze Weve walked 7+ miles today, more of Shipwright's Way. It was beautifully sunny and the colours gorgeous. Thank you, its from a book my dad had called Verse & Worse! @catsmeowb any time! @lynnz thanks
I love that poem too and am not really into the other deep stuff by respected author's..if it's funny then I remember it! Totally nailed this ine cos I immediately thought of that poem when I saw your image! Well done Jackie!
Very quirky poem - and love your honest opinion of poetry as it is also my opinion of the stuff.
Very cool shot that comes from dedication to the cause by getting up early!
BTW - I noticed you did both a monochrome geometric shot and this poem shot. I know that Sylvia often gives a choice for challenges but I think that she means for you to choose one and concentrate on that one but not to do both.
@catsmeowb any time!
@lynnz thanks
Sounds loads of lovely fresh air! Nobody seems to know the true author of that verse.
@quietpurplehaze one of those by Anon who wrote loads of others? !
@wendyfrost
@quietpurplehaze Jacquie thinks she knows author_ see above
Yes, I've seen this poem attributed online to both these writers!
It could be in A book of Milliganimals by Spike - cheap to buy online!
Very cool shot that comes from dedication to the cause by getting up early!
