Perspectives through Prose, Poetry and Photography

Elevated
Rain is coming! (heavens are ablaze), Sailors warning! (still, I’ve fixed my gaze), Irma’s spinning! (warnings and delays), I will face her! (If she comes my way), Morning’s dawning! (storm clouds soon will raise). WordPress: Elevate
Carry
After an exhaustively satisfying jaunt to Disney Springs, we return to our Polynesian Paradise, with visions of plunging into a refreshing Oasis Pool. This photo captures many emotions for me, transporting me back to the warmth of that day; tasty lunch on the deck… Continue Reading “Carry”
Stars of Sugar Gum
When autumn eves turn into golden days, Fast falling leaves abound on grassy plains, So much that calloused palms brush them away, No sooner swept aside, resumes the rain. And slight distracted through the sinewed branches, To waves of green ‘gainst cloudless, azure skies,… Continue Reading “Stars of Sugar Gum”
Of Windows
When in the course of eons, man’s ascent, Desire for creature comforts came to be, Once mere survival safe could be achieved, As hay and clay walls opened for to see. Through ages ice and iron, improved upon, Increasing heights and breadths, invite light… Continue Reading “Of Windows”
Miniature
a glob of seaweed strewn upon the beach lies wet and sparkling, can it be that mother nature’s deft and brilliant brush Can far surpass mere mortal’s inartful stroke? Daily Post: Miniature
Loss
Learning to become myself once more, Learning he’s not here to calm my fears, Mostly out of focus, strain to know, Where is my path (between escaping tears)? Thought I was secure through all the years, We learned together how to build our life,… Continue Reading “Loss”
Rare
Rare: Splurging on a special dinner at “Victoria and Albert”. Rarer: Impeccably skillful presentation of our “Colgin 2003“, transported all the way from our NJ wine rack, where it had rested peacefully for over a decade (well worth the corkage fee)! Rarer Still: Table-side… Continue Reading “Rare”
Fallen Feather
This morn I spied a feather, frail and fine, Upon the splintering deck rail, in the sun, Whose slanting stream of light enhanced the spline, Causing pause and leaving me awe-stunned. What flutter-winged dove whose day begun pursuing nuts and seeds, has flown… Continue Reading “Fallen Feather”

After an exhaustingly satisfying jaunt to Disney Springs, we return to our Polynesian Paradise, with visions of plunging into a refreshing Oasis Pool. This photo captures many emotions for me, transporting me back to the warmth of that day; tasty lunch on the deck… Continue Reading “Carry”
Infinity
It’s all in one’s perspective, stirred or calm, No absolute to clear attempt define, Are we the epicenter of our realm, Or mere iotas in the breadth of time? In awe of spacious skies and hues sublime, Yet conscious that we’re specks of vast… Continue Reading “Infinity”
Land…(sea)…scape
The window opened wide as it will go, Allowing sea salt air into my room, Whilst verdant sentries stalwart, toe to toe, Rustling regal guards that breathe “Hello”! Photo Friday: Landscape 2016 This week’s prompt reminded me of that summer morning several weeks ago as… Continue Reading “Land…(sea)…scape”
Cagüenõ
She stood calm, in stark contrast to the rumbling, agitated heavens that served as her backdrop. She seemed to beckon: “Come! Find shelter here with me.” As we rode the bumpy coach from San Juan that would soon drop us off at our intended destination, the… Continue Reading “Cagüenõ”
