Thanks guys. I am also a sucker for clouds and love to add poems or quotes to many photos I take. 

profound and wonderful hun xxx  really loved it. 

Thanks, my friend. At some point I\'ll get the hang of a multiquote lol

I really felt like I was within a field myself, as you painted the imagery nicely with the words. Just to be a fraction picky, I love the image but strongly dislike the font that spells \'epiphany\'.

Thanks for sharing Sarah!

I seem to recall it, perhaps you submitted it to MM or the old site?

Yes, I had a different image with it before and the design was very dull. I like this version much better. I love the font for the title; it\'s an old script that alludes to history, specifically the enlightenment where poets like Thoreau and Whitman wrote pages and pages about the joys of nature...

I wrote this ten years ago when I visiting my parents on their farm (where we lived when I was in high school). The photo was taken a few months ago when I was housesitting out in the country. So peaceful, so lovely.

These are amazing shots! 

Your kids are adorable! I do really like the one with the moon through the trees.

Thanks, Chris. I\'m still exploring the site - it\'s very beautifully designed! It\'s clear that you and Cheeky put a lot of time and effort into this. I hope that I will be able to contribute in meaningful ways... There will be huge chunks of time, though, that I will be MIA

This game is called \"RHYMES\"

How to play: Write a verse(s) around the topic provided in the previous post. There are no restrictions on length, structure or rhyme scheme. 

Don\'t forget to add your own topic for the next person.  Next Topic: Puppy Love

I enjoyed this poem, but I was distracted from the words by two things: 1. The italics at the end2. That you used punctuation, but still capitalized the first word of every line (instead of following regular capitalization rules).I\'m not sure where you are wanting to take this poem, so take this with a grain of salt... but I think these lines:

Life is ablaze, a Passionate HeatLife is motion, frenzy, divine.[/quote]could be tighter if phrased like:Life ablaze, a passionate heatis motion, frenzied, and divine  

This is lovely, Chris! It\'s been a joy watching you grow as a poet! 

Always a fan  Man, I\'ve missed your poetry!

This is a fun game and here are the rules:

Someone starts with a four line poem using any rhyme scheme. The next person takes the last line of the previous poem and uses it as her first line. And so on and so on... You get one epic poem that takes many twists and turns; some are fun some are excruciating... but all are entertaining (and better than not writing at all!)[/quote]I\'ll start:I wish I was a tulip flower
So gorgeous and red
I could live in a peaceful garden
With no worries in my head

 

Well hello there, stranger!
