Take One:
Two calling birds!
I said two calling birds, not pigeons.
Who sent the casting call to these guys anyway?
----------------------------------------------
Take Two:
pigeon-gray sky
brushed chrome water
in a monochrome world
birdsong breaks though steel,
floats, dripping melodies to earth

Granny Sue;
ReplyDeleteLoved them both.
Two so different takes.
Funny and beautiful!
Have a nice New Years Eve!
Both are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I can see some edits that need to be made to the second one already, but that's what I get for dashing it off quickly.
ReplyDeleteFirst one made me laugh; second one--I'm in awe--fantastic! I love the pyramid poem, especially this: "birdsong breaks though steel,
ReplyDeletefloats, dripping melodies to earth."
Thank you, Pat. Your comments made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteI could hear the voice-over for that first one -- a good take on the picture, it made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is beautiful! Two so very different ways to go with the picture.
