where are you going
your beating hearts flying high
in the western sky
above frozen fields
into blinding
sunlight
songs of samsara

where are you going
your beating hearts flying high
in the western sky
above frozen fields
into blinding
sunlight
I like this poem. The speaker doesn’t say whether the image addressed is a person or perhaps a flock of geese. Usually I detest ambiguity, particularly in poetry. But I must say that once again you are able to make things work that I would never imagine would! I have thought of you today after reading about how you provide bird videos for your cat to view. And gee, you pay extra for YouTube without commercials? Amazing. I never pay extra to have commercials go away, even though I detest them more than your average viewer. I’ll have to look into that since you’ve given me a lead to follow! I hope your day is going well. Kinda rough day for me last evening, and then I didn’t get good sleep last night so felt like crap for much of this day, but now I’m doing well and hoping for a great evening! Peter
Well Peter… YouTube is the most annoying of all I think… it’s worth it to pay extra to me because I watch YT all day !!! I don’t pay for cable tv… only internet…so I rely on YT for my entertainment, etc.
I’ve been taking lots of sunset & sky photos the past year or so… during my lapse in painting…. At least it’s being creative…and letting the photo be the inspiration for writing poetry….
I really appreciate your feedback !
Thank you Peter 🪷

Wonderful idea to take photos to inspire your poetry writing! You inspire me!!! Again, I’ll look up YouTube to see cost of skipping commercials. Like you, I spend a lot of time on there, though it sounds as if you spend even MORE. I often find I get lost in all their wonderful offerings. If I view dance or music videos I sometimes look up to see an hour or more has passed!!!
It costs about $20 for Premium YT. I subscribe to hundreds of channels…some I love sooooooooo much, and it’s soooooo annoying for commercials constantly interrupting…
Not only have I been taking photos to inspire but I’ve been writing poems to go with my art …it’s really interesting to see what emerges when you write spontaneously…or stream of consciousness…
