All that we don’t know is astonishing.
Even more astonishing is what passes for knowing.

Empty Pot, Empty Bottle — And In Conclusion Leave a comment
“Empty Pot, Empty Bottle” — Dos XX Amber Still Life by kenne
A Word About Transitions
Moreover is not a good way to start a poem
though many begin somewhere in the middle.
Secondly does not belong
at the opening of your second stanza.
Furthermore is to be avoided
no matter how long the poem.
Aforementioned is rarely found
in poems at all, and for good reason.
Most steer clear of notwithstanding,
and the same goes for
nevertheless, however,
as a consequence, in any event,
subsequently,
and as we have seen in the previous chapters.
The appearance of finally
in your final stanza will be of no help.
All of which suggests (another no-no)
that poems don’t need to tell us where we are
or what is soon to come.
For example, the white bowl of lemons
on a table by a window
can go anywhere all by itself
and, in conclusion, so can
seven elephants standing in the rain.

Paulo Still Life — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Nōtan (濃淡)
winter’s sun
casts long shadows
on the shortest day
creating contrasting
values of shape
between objects
and the wall
in turn capturing
my eye
as darkness wins

(Nōtan (濃淡) is a Japanese word, meaning dark-light, there is no English language equivalent.
It embodies an ancient Eastern concept, in which all things exist as inseparable and in perfect harmony.)

Wall Shadows
A break with the sun
Not complete, only partial
A heat compromise.

A Shadow Companion Leave a comment
A Shadow Companion — Computer Painting by kenne
Shadow on the wall
a mark soon to fade,
escaping
with the setting sun.
Still-life in the darkness
the magic of light gone,
missing
it’s shadow companion.
Captured and marked
by pixeled contrast,
painting
with a digital palette.

just things
just things
on the table
nothing special
in the sunlight –
a plant
a candle
a vase
a bookmark
glass art
each having a
story to tell
making just things
something special
creating a way of feeling
out of the ordinary
an instant out of time
holding it still
in the shadows
of yesterday’s dreams

zero and one shape the world Leave a comment
zero and one
zero in nothing
nonentity
one is something
favored
zero is nothingness
it isn’t there
one is being
existence
zero gives meaning
imposing subjectivity
one gives consciousness
imposing objectivity
zero cannot be one
only know one
one cannot be zero
only know zero
zero and one together
shape the imagination
zero and one together
shape the world
