depictions by the rule of thirds; descriptions mostly freestyle words
She stoops to conquer
solo in the side gallery
a euphoric couple look upon art
as mise-en-scène, fabulous walls
framing a subtly placed contrivance
– his regard for art superimposed
with a duplicitous critic’s eye
she takes surreptitious glances
considers upcoming nuptials
the spark to blind his singular prejudice
Apologies to Mr Goldsmith and different word ways of looking at De’s theme: Up
POM: April 2019
April has had some awful weather mixed in with brilliant days as here when I went walkabout with a pocketable point-and-shoot Ricoh, adjusting to my more rural surrounds after just 2 months of departing London.
Pick of the Month: Marking the passing of the month with one photo though not always saving the best till last.
Borderline
perhaps a place
at the holy hem of heaven
commends itself to the noble
souls who’ve tiptoed gracefully
past the temptations of the telluric realm
– certainly there is a limbo
here at the edge of all movement
a stifling halfway house, iron-girded
by grief, faint-heart, and where the despairing
insiders look on, always seeing out
though vision is broken by mottled glass
and water drops decanting heavily
when mists descend, decision clouds
handkerchiefs in hand we wipe
the panes, our eyes and wave away
the hours it takes to break down
doors, through to the other side of heartache
Keeping it to 100 words for M’s poetic prompt: Limbo
