Wired Leave a comment
“Wired” — Computer Painting by kenne
a poem is
a dragonfly
darting near water
looking
for a place to rest upon
filled with freshness.
a poem is
of flight down
by the creekside —
standing water.
a poem is. . .
a poem is
wired.

Butterfly Rhymes With Dragonfly 1 comment
Queen Butterfly — Computer Art by kenne
Butterfly
rhymes with dragonfly
and water with
life.
Butterflies
circle up and down
between my eyes.
Why was it
the butterfly
and not
the dragonfly?
Each carries the
inside of my soul.

Flame Skimmer — Grunge Art by kenne
“So long as the sense of the observing subject remains,
there is the effort, however indirect, to control feeling from the outside,
which is resistance setting up turmoil in the stream.
Resistance disappears and the balancing process comes into full effect,
not by intention on the part of the subject,
but only as it is seen that the feeling of being the subject,
the ego, is itself part of the stream of experience
and does not stand outside it in a controlling position.”

Blue Dasher Dragonfly — Picture As Poetry Leave a comment

Everything that goes into my images is based on the belief,
“as in poetry, so in photography.”
A photographer is like a poet.

“A poem will be like a picture,
and let a picture be similar to a poem.”
— Horace
“Painting is poetry which is seen and not heard,
and poetry is a painting which is heard but not seen.
These two arts (you may call them both either poetry or painting)
have here interchanged the senses by which they penetrate to the intellect.”

This is my envoy to nothing
where I say Go, little poem —
not out into the world of stranger’s eyes,
but off to some airy limbo,
home to lost epics,
unremembered names,
and fugitive dreams
such as the one I had last night,
which, like a fantastic city in pencil,
erased itself
in the bright morning air
just as I was waking up.
— from “Lines Lost Among Trees” by Billy Collins

Looking For A Little Afternoon Delight Leave a comment
Dragonfly image taken in the woods of east Texas by kenne
Experts may know why
dragonflies land where they choose
often landing then away they fly
only to come back for a little snooze.
Dragonfly, dragonfly perched up high
choosing a branch on which to hand tight
hoping he will catch her eye
looking for a little afternoon delight.
