Knots

Please click on photos to enlarge.

The bracelets are ones in my ‘Armadillos” line. They are all one-of-a-kind and each consists of from five to nine different elements–many of which consist of a number of macrame knots, so I thought they were appropriate for this prompt.

Shy little bougainvillea blossoms paint their faces white,
then clothe themselves in leaves of colors much more bright.

When the World Turns Upside Down

When the World Turns Upside Down

When the world turns upside down, I’ll have to stand on air.
My heels will be over my knees, my knees over my hair.
Will the water stay in place or just come tumbling down
to fill up where the sky is now—where formerly was town?
Will gravity act just the same or will it pull us up?
How will it work when Grandpa tries to fill his coffee cup?
Will balls bounce up or down and will skiers ski uphill?
How will grandma’s old gray cat stay on the windowsill?
May I suggest the world stay just as it is instead?
It’s just too complicated standing on your head!

Super Moon, March 9, 2020

 

These photos were taken from my back yard between 8 and 10 PM on March 9, 2020 in San Juan Cosala—night of the Super Moon.

You’ll see much more detail if you click on the first photo and then on the right hand arrow on each photo. I wish I knew more about landmarks on the moon. It looks a bit like a navel orange with white lines radiating out from the navel.

Lost Again in the Animal

This poem nearly drove me crazy. The form kept shifting when sent to WP, decided to screen shot, then to photograph, nothing working.Then mistakenly erased the first page of the manuscript, so couldn’t even print it in WP altered form. Finally decided to settle on these photos of the poem I’d made earlier that I found in the trash. Only to find the Open Link time for dVerse Poets had elapsed!!!  (Expletive deleted.) So, here it is with all its warts, three hours later!!!! Is 1 p.m. too early to drink????
