she’s quicK, gone
by the time my lens aiMs, zerOes in& cliCK s
into position
from a place unplugged
i am
hardly connected to the things my world rotates arOund aRound arouNd–
on the clothes horse
on the other side of time
fresh washing
basKs, fragrant, limbs spread in the morning sun
loaded thick with pollen,
small wings, parchment thin move in a breakneck speed,
she hums bee’s chants,
drinking sweet drops from lavender’s purPle lips
that lets her
willingly
Ah, lovely summery snapshot, even if you didn’t manage to capture it with your camera, you capture it with words. How lovely to read your poetry again, Claudia, it’s been a while. Have you been focusing more on your painting now?
Sometimes the best shots stay in the mind when the camera gets left behind, or can’t catch them haha
A lovely capture with your words. I love seeing your posts on Facebook…..I do feel like you are paying attention to all those gifts each day brings. xo
An enchanting poem about the garden and nature Claudia. It made me smile.
Super charming, Claudia–I can picture that bizzzz. I really like the way you use the limbs of the clothes here–lovely. Thanks for getting in touch! k.
Such a beautiful scene and moment captured! Always lovely to read you, Claudia.
Ah..never like missing those shots…but it adds to the challenge.
She’s quick 😉 This made me smile, too~
Ah, sometimes it is not possible to capture a scene with a lens. One has to be content with the memory….and perhaps paint it. Smiles!! Glad to see you writing.
I think sometimes, the moment is to be captured only with our inner lens and retained in that wondrous photo album in our head. Nice to read your words again, I hope all is well.
This is almost a love song.
Love this… and it’s so often we try to catch that moment with a camera… how great you can butterfly with words
A honey of a poem about sweet opportunity misszzzed! Maybe another time…
I love the way you can zoom in on the small things and show your appreciation of nature in this way.
very nice… ❤
