Caught In The Rain 1 comment
I tried working in an hour walking the East End Park trails before a forecasted storm.
The sky was partly cloudy as I neared the lake.
An image from close to the ground looking toward the lake.
Cloud reflections on the water.
This image of the sky and clouds reflecting off the water is deceptive because dark clouds were already beginning to build up behind me.
By the time I reach the park parking lot I was soaked. (December 29, 20022) — Images by kenne

as universal as a bird?

Bee on Coneflower (East End Park, May 27, 2022) — Image by kenne
In an open meadow
near the forest
coneflowers
in every direction
sway in the breeze
attracting honey bees
as we walk the trail
a guest in the park.

A visitor in another land
mimicking other sounds
as noted by Shakespeare
singing to a Mozart tune
only to be blamed for
the decline of other birds.

Long neck
long legs
okay,
what the hack
waiting for the
right moment
becoming part
of the silence
what else is
a great blue

My photographs are easy to comprehend,
which is not always the case with art and poetry.
If a reader doesn’t understand a poem,
just listen to it. Like life, exposure to it
is part of its power.
