I love the line – Given heart’s altitude!
Different, yet perfectly fits the picture 🙂

“Vista to Beholden,” certainly does describe the photo well. It truly is a Vista to Behold.

The image makes me consider seemingly impossible goals…. Thanks for stopping by and posting today, Gigi Ann 🙂 Very nice 🙂

Love how the depth of the few words you select, enhance the beauty of the photo.

I think my short lines/poems have been influenced by all the tweeting I do. Thank you for your nice comment 🙂

Nice one, Adam. I think you captured that photo exactly.
November 21, 2010 at 10:06 am
Just read your post, Glynn. You always write very polished lines that are thought provoking. Cheers

Vista to behold, few words but with all the beauty spelt out
November 21, 2010 at 10:51 am
Short but twisty, as always, to get the mind around, just the way it should be. Nicely done.

Funny you say “twisty.” I’m going to post a challenge piece for Bookstains very soon; the subject is Charles Dickens. These are great prompts. Check it out. Fun stuff 🙂

Hi Lib. I love panoramic images, and Trent’s photo reminds me of really great ones I’ve seen in print. Cheers

I love how you put man’s deep aspiration to have wings so we may with wings “pan our moments”!
November 21, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Short but sweet. You spread your wings about the boundless beauty of the photo, and capture it nicely–“Vista to beholden” indeed. All the world lies before us. Nice work, Dustus!

I appreciate how four contained lines describe so much. Whether or not intended there are a couple of subtle and lovely wordplays here also.
November 21, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I admit there are a few plays on words in this one 🙂
Thank you, Maureen
November 21, 2010 at 2:45 pm

Wings pan our moments
