Words. Pictures. Poems. SYLVIAANDTEDCOLLECTION is my new in progress blog
(It's about time I re-think this blurb)...Self-centered poetic type. When finally attending university in my 30's, I discovered poetry was pretty damned interesting. I also discovered the fascinating tale and talent of Sylvia Plath. Over a decade later her poetry and life (and Hughes') still intrigues me. (OKAY.I'll keep the above). I am a music fiend. (YES, still true) Mostly weaned on rock and classical, I discovered the beauty of opera a few years ago, starting with an obsession with Andrea Bocelli's lovely voice. So Pink Floyd to Elgar to Verdi--Leonard Cohen to Beethoven and the White Stripes--It's all good. And thank Gawd for iTunes getting rid of all those pesky cd's. Kurt Cobain was my second cousin from my Aberdeen family tree. I try to write poetry and have had a few published. And over the years since this blog was created, my photography hobby fell into obscurity via digital cameras. I lost interest in shooting pictures from that tiny metal object with a screen.

as if
the red shining
through the silver
and the words
shining through the mist
of tears and sweat
mingling together
create the very stream
of blood and power
that bind us
to one

Hi again Gerrit~
I haven't been paying close enough attention to my blog. And it is so rare that I get any comments!
Great poem! It is perfectly connected to theme of my painting...which was blood, although I couldn't tell you why I came across that them. My best guess is that I painted it a day after Katrina hit New Orleans...all that water and the islands of land and death and survival and the numbers and along came my first painting in about a year.
Thanks again for commenting.
Love! the poem.
regards,
Laurie
