Davidlind’s Poetry/ Taking Photos and Being Creative
I hope you all will give photography a chance if you have not already done so. A nice camera is expensive but so are many things that we buy. It’s often a matter of priorities. Do we need wide screen televisions?
Yes we do.
Just kidding. We need to find something we enjoy doing that involves our imaginations.
No not that! I’m talking about artistic stuff. Try it and see!
I have a new idea for a poem. Poetry is actually the foundation of this blog. I didn’t plan it that way. But if you look at the stats that is what brings folks here.
This poem will be about (hopefully) a guy who is taking a walk in the woods. It’s a nice day and he is enjoying himself (for awhile). Some distance away a hunter is also enjoying himself. But he is a poor shot. He takes aim at some hapless animal and misses by a mile. The bullet travels in an arc and comes down in the neighborhood of our first guy who is admiring a bird up in a tree.

In fact the bullet doesn’t just come down in his neighborhood.
It comes down on his street.
And into his house.
Through his front door. Ouch.
It’s a sad moment for both of them. The hunter is going to lose his permit to hunt. And our friend is going to suddenly fly off towards the moon. And then he is going to take a right turn towards the sun. Later he will find his way back home in time for his funeral.
And that’s as far as I have gotten this morning. Except I have thought of his name. It’s Billy Getz. Or maybe Willy B Gates. Yes indeed. That’s the ticket.
So you see photography can lead to different things. But all of them are fun. And I hope that reading this blog will encourage you to look inside and discover where you would like to go.
Of course some of you have already gone there. And I see where you have gone and are going in your blogs. And I am truly amazed and bow down to you.
Thanks for being there. Peace.

Wow - David your photos are magnificent! And yes I want to take your advice and give photography a serious try as I already know I love it - just don’t have the right camera yet, but am hoping to invest in a new DSLR in the near future.
Nice poem too
