Prickly Pear Fruit — Photo-Artistry by kenne
In capturing the moment,
reality
is rephrased
making use of light and
angles between objects,
creating an illusion
of space and distance —
a new view of reality.
The new reality
brings with it
a rhythm,
and sound
resonating
with the soul –
hopefully,
with the viewer.
The image
becomes a model
of what is real —
what is real is
imagined –
the affirmation
of nature.
The artist adds,
or takes away —
still real,
but totally invented
and fully imagined –
the objectification
of feeling.
The new reality
is shaped
and nurtured
from the past,
erased and reinvented —
if the artist is lucky
the new image
will seem more real
and more true.

Autumn Song
BY DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI
Know’st thou not at the fall of the leaf
How the heart feels a languid grief
Laid on it for a covering,
And how sleep seems a goodly thing
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?
And how the swift beat of the brain
Falters because it is in vain,
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf
Knowest thou not? and how the chief
Of joys seems—not to suffer pain?
Know’st thou not at the fall of the leaf
How the soul feels like a dried sheaf
Bound up at length for harvesting,
And how death seems a comely thing
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o’clock in the morning.
