I played
a beautiful song
in multicolored notes
scattered
across a lined page
carefully metered
for sweet-sounding melody
wind-blown notes from warm lips –
the air-born gifts of a hand-held flute
I played
on a concrete step
that led
to a House of White
flattered
where they stole my sheet
and blotted out the rainbow hues
leaving me but a monotonous tune –
the repetitive honk of a lonely goose

Great imagery and metaphor.
Thank you, Keith! I’m dismayed by the political decisions being made in the US…not surprised…but still dismayed.
Tanya, that sums it up nicely “not surprised, but still dismayed.” Keith
Keith, I wish I could say surprised. The warning signs were all there.
Tanya, I am still amazed we elected a man whose history makes him so unqualified for the job. It will only get worse, I fear. Keith
I agree. We need to stay vocal and active. These are difficult days.
Brilliant
Thank you so much! I will daily work to deserve your kind word…😊
Always welcome !

You are very welcome!
Absolutely loved this Tanya! Can’t wait to see your Rictameter in video!
Thank you so much, Linda. I have a #2 to this piece coming up this week also.
Can I ask you a question? I was wondering what you use to make your video. Software or an app
Absolutely. The videos I have on WP were all edited with Adobe Elements 14 software. You can purchase it in a package with Photoshop. It’s pretty straightforward to use, which is a good thing, because stop-motion is labor intensive.
That’s awesome Tanya! Thank you for the tip!
You’re very welcome. I’ll post that video tomorrow. It involved more than 100 pictures and several hundred frames, several layers of video filters and sound, as well as the words and graphic effects. For something that only lasts 1 1/2 minutes, it’s a lot of “stuff”…lol
I hope you like it! If you have any other questions, just ask.
Awesome! Thanks!

Thank you for the share, Tiffany!❤❤❤
Always love to read your work. Going to look at Amazon in bed later too and give a review if still able. X
Thank you, Tiffany! That means a lot to me. The book is still up there. They don’t “time out” on reviews as far as I know.
Have a wonderful weekend, if I don’t talk to you before!
Same back to you and yours Tanya! x
