Beyond Yesterday
Hear I am
So far away
Perspectives, angles
Love each day
Lasting impression
Sight cleansing, golden, free
Silhouettes of ducks glide by
Sun spread over shouldering trees

Just trying to read a few poems in-between packing items for the trip…but had to stop and read one of your poems….just love the image and flow of this poem…another fine poem.

That’s really cool that you commented before hitting the road. Have an amazing time, Martin. Enjoy the trip!

You are loving the outdoors, aren’t you? I have two poems that could use serious feedback. Up to it? They’re Space Telescope and My Lady’s Parting Song. Post or email your thoughts, whenever. Enjoy the outside.
April 11, 2010 at 8:16 am
Great! Yousei, I look forward to commenting on your poems this afternoon. Yes, I’ve been outside more since the weather has been nice. However, today is overcast and it’s the first time in a while I’ve been able to sit down and relish all my friends’ work. Already, I like both titles for your new ones 🙂
April 10, 2010 at 10:53 pm
Well captured, Adam!

A lovely poem, and a breath-taking ladscape of lake lansing ; well done Adam.
April 12, 2010 at 9:26 am
Lovely photograph and such peaceful words.
April 12, 2010 at 9:38 am
Thanks. I enjoy taking photos of nature scenes. Makes me feel peaceful 🙂
April 12, 2010 at 10:47 am
Again such a lovely photograph. Maybe I should take Bethan’s lead and leave you massive Welsh hugs, but I don’t know if it’s wholly appropriate LOL 😉 Serene poetry, again making me think I should invest in a SLR. Good work Adam.
April 12, 2010 at 1:49 pm
LOL Hugs are always nice 🙂 Yes, you should definitely invest in an SLR!!! Right away, you might notice a difference in picture quality just by using auto!
Thanks, Shan

wow,
you win,
the top award!

I love a photo accompanying a poem. I have been trying to do more of that myself. Do you find that a photograph just cannot capture the beauty of what you are seeing with your eyes? I am running into that again and again and I want so much to capture that beauty. This poem is great, as is all your poetry 🙂
April 12, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Thanks, Sarah. I think the written portion of a post like this one is my attempt to make sense of the visual. I think it’s less of accounting for the beauty of scene and more about appreciating details I don’t usually notice. Sharp focused cameras definitely help the process. (Great to see you posting. Awesome)
April 12, 2010 at 4:11 pm
I read MANY great poems from individuals in March. It’s a reward in itself just to be considered alongside some outstanding poetic bloggers. Thanks and congrats to everyone posting. I’m happy people are enjoy some of my posts 🙂 Cheers

‘Sight cleansing, golden and free’ what a descriptive line! I feel I have splashed my face with that beautiful refreshing water – breathtaking picture too by you !
April 13, 2010 at 11:08 am
“I feel I have splashed my face with that beautiful refreshing water…” Lynda, that’s the feeling I had the first time I read “Nothing Gold Can Stay”
http://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/poets/a_f/frost/gold.htm
“…Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief, ”
Brilliant! (my opinion) I think that may have been the first poem that got me into writing poetry. Reminds me of The Outsiders too.
Have a wonderful day 🙂

Lovely photo Adam and smooth words to compliment it.
April 13, 2010 at 11:19 am
Hi Colleen! Thanks. Glad your enjoying the work. I have one more good photo from that morning. Stay tuned. lol 🙂
April 13, 2010 at 4:39 pm
Fantastic photograph, really atmospheric…”otherwordly” almost. I love the opening words too: “Here I am, So far away.” Great stuff.
April 14, 2010 at 6:05 am
Glad you like it. It does look a bit “otherworldly.” Thanks, Lawrence. Have a good one!
