Blossoms now gone
Green leaves become read
Fall has arrived.

Wild Cotton Photo-Artistry by kenne (Sabino Canyon Oct. 1, 2012)
I have learned silence from the talkative,
toleration from the intolerant,
and kindness from the unkind;
yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

A Bleak Morning In West Texas 3 comments
Wild Cotton Blossom — Image by kenne
A bleak morning
draped in
winter brown —
Ft. Stockton
where the wind
has no patience,
I console my
chilled being
with the freshness
and warmth of
a late summer
desert blossom.

Wild Cotton Still-Life — A Place To Start 1 comment
Wild Cotton Still-Life by kenne
A place to start
look at you
kenne g
you have taken multi-tasking to a fault
you need to be
more focused
uncomplicated
this is what they tell me
information is good
opinion
music
poetry
photo art
all are good
but, you are inexorable
demurred, I say
I do what I do
because I can
maybe you can’t,
you’re the problem
not me
all things are connected
not an isolated island
I choose to stay linked
open secret places
plant seeds
harvest thoughts
bucket ideas
but, you discard mind droppings
I mix and match
generating energy
to form inspiration
feel the heat
see the stream
it’s all shit
the shit sits
generating food
for tomorrow’s ideas
powering the music
stand up and dance
when I’m not here
there will be a place to start
but, you can add to my pile

(I wrote this poem November 2008 in response to being told that my blog needed to focus on one thing like photography, music, poetry, or art not many things — advice not taken.)
