Fleeting View from a Latticed Cage

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~
The circus has arrived at Rosebud, a small coastal township on the Mornington Peninsula.
One lion rests in a large cage with an electrified fence and a ball.

Summer by the sea
Wild soul in a latticed cage
A glimpse of freedom

Shaken Not Stirred

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Spring blossoms at Balnarring, Mornington Peninsula
~
One Single Impression prompt #30 ~ Fleeting
~
Heads or Tails prompt #58 ~ Shake
~

Sweet fragile blossoms
First breath of Spring light and warmth
First kiss of new days
~
But like a secret
Cast to the whimsy of winds
The time is fleeting
~
Cocktail of blessings
Winged hope of bright happiness
Shaken but not stirred

Over 50! And Motoring!

T.S.Eliot's poetry has never failed to intoxicate me! In fact, his sunlight on a broken column, his midnights and lamp posts, his female rhythms mouthing Michelangelo pleasantries are all bound up in the "overwhelming question" of our real biorhythms and souls! ~ We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~~~~Ray Bradbury ~~~~ Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~~~Anton Chekhov ~~~ Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ~Angela Monet

AUSTRALIAN BLOGGER

Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.- T.S.Eliot .............................. My page was too white/My ink was too thin/The day wouldn’t write/What the night pencilled in -'The Book of Longing' Leonard Cohen..................... Creative discord of fractured harmonies! Between the Question and the Answer is A Hush... A Whisper... A Dreaming...

The grit of raw desert lands whirls on the winds in erotic rhythms - sometimes. - Greyscale
