There is in the garden a weed.

A flower no one wants to see.

 

It pops up in the most

unlikely spots

Stubborn and difficult

to remove like the flea.

 

In the fields of grassy green,

it sprouts out of nowhere,

like garbage in the sea.

 

Poor thing has so many uses,

from wine to color pigment,

Yet, still its discarded with the debris.

 

Its seedlings are loved

by the young and old alike,

for the whimsical way

they take flight,

as wish's are set free.

 

The little weed seed

that nobody wants to see

Shadow faces on the fence,

light and dark with a touch

of suspense.

 

Chasing sunshine from one

position to the next,

makes them a little tense.

 

As the dark sets in their

faces lose their shape,

changes commence.

 

When the sunlight returns,

the shadow faces again will

dispense across the fence.

  

I count 13 faces, how many can you see?

The trick is to look for the eyes first.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

The Life

 

The life of a tree

starts with a seeds

sudden fall.

 

Stranded in unfamiliar places,

growing through the opposition,

strong and tall.

 

Leafing out,

budding branch's,

winds that blow

through it all.

 

Children swinging from a branch,

lovers tattoo's in the bark,

winter's chill,

its growth dose stall.

 

The life of a tree

empresses us all.

 

From birth till death

it takes on each obstacle,

strengthens and grows

but not dose it fall.

 

Producing and giving

for more years than

I can recall,

 

The Life,

The Life

The life of a tree

impresses us all.

In the glass the reflection cry's.

as the Lilly face looks surprised.

It dosnt feel the least bit sad

but its reflection still cry's.

 

What do we choose to see beauty in?

 

Ceramic and clay and glass and gems yet mud is not listed with these beautiful buy's.

 

Ash's to ash's and dust to dust reminds us of what we should see beauty in.

 

The most basic of elements seen here, mud and water form beautiful eye's.

handmade collage, may 2015 (6.6x9.7in)

Collage made for this week's theme 'Clothes', what I wish I could wear" (kind of ) on kollagekit.blogspot.com/

In the snares of the tunnel spider

I see the struggling wings beating

against the rocks deep red surface.

 

Wrapped in the webs of the tunnel spider.

The slowing of the wings takes place.

 

In the trap of the tunnel spider

The day dream die's, as it ceases

to keep pace.

 

In the clutches of the tunnel spider.

One last strong beat of the heart

and

release,

as the butterfly escapes

the tunnel spiders face.

  

Photograph of a Tunnel spider web under a deep red Lava rock. Mirrored and Fisheye filter used to stretch the image slightly with some saturation for a little deeper color.

Standing here with

my rake in hand.

 

Day Dreaming of

the new green space.

I looked down at the dark

colored leafs and sand.

 

The Grass sprouting

up in its place.

It slowly was spreading

across the land.

 

There before me

a little face.

staring back with a

look so bland.

 

brown with time and

looking like lace.

The wind now making

noise like a band.

 

Gone were the leaves

without a trace.

 

While standing here

with rake in hand.

Coiled up and twisted,

the smile sneaks out.

  

Photograph of coiled metal piping that covers and protects wire. Black and white and mirrored.

handmade collage, oct 2014 (4.8x6.7in)

Gull over Bay / Clouds over the hood, Bellingham Washington

Heirlooms,

lost,

in another

time and place.

 

Destined,

to take up,

someone

else's space.

 

Understanding,

sentiment and family

lines have,

with these items,

been traced.

 

Emotions,

flowing from

everyone's face.

 

A death,

often comes with,

the throwing away

of a family's grace.

  

Created by photographing Grandma's Heirloom jewelry and Dad's hunting string, on a red pillow, mirrored for the view and given a slight detail filter.

The devil's attempts

to make angels.

 

Trying to do God's work

never turns out as he wished.

 

Never quite right in

the ways of heaven.

 

Their appearance half done

and yet not angelic at all.

 

It is obvious to see that the

dust gives way to death.

 

At the devil's attempts

to make angels

The king and queen of ice

are the perfect pair.

 

Reflecting from each other

the love they share.

 

That strength, that love,

that the other,

uses with care.

 

Reflections of

one heart,

whom of us,

have been there?

 

The pair are one in all

they do and dare.

 

Into each others eyes

they stare.

Again photograph of Dove chocolate wrappers mirrored on the table and in the dark with a flash. Two fish eye filters applied to enhance the eyes. No poem for this one? I dont know why, perhaps it speaks for itself.

The first day of fall has arrived.

My artwork this day is contrived,

from the first colored leaves

it is derived.

By falls end, the colors will not have survived.

yet after a period of rest

they will again be revived.

Grass is green

Sky's are blue

Those eyes

that face

smiling back at you.

How can one

not smile back

in fun.

When natures

smile is this

well done.

You and me and

the butterfly's 3,

changing and

mutating in the tree.

 

Is it a princess

or is it a queen?,

waiting for the

metamorphosis

so we can see.

 

Colorful, fancy,

beauty inside,

changing the outside

and becoming free.

 

No longer trapped

in the earthly cocoon,

it spreads its wings

and fly's where

it can see.

 

Singing a colorful song

on the way and humming

quietly to thee.

The Butterfly's three.

 

In the warm spring sun the seeds begin to sprout.

The colors of spring begin to reach out.

 

Gone is the cold and the blanket of snow.

Warm is the sun as the little sprouts grow.

 

Looking deeply at the seedlings base, I see no signs of drought.

If its healthy and strong then leaves it soon will tout

handmade collage, oct 2014 (5.5x6.8in)

The enchanted people

of the forest

have a place

 

The forest square

is where they

gather to meet.

 

Intricate in every way,

is the secret design of

this special space.

 

Magical beings of

every kind,

come together

and take a seat.

 

Dancing, singing

and speaking

face to face.

 

Coming together

in the square,

is often for a magical,

prophetic treat.

 

In their minds,

they have created

thoughts in a

magical tapestry like lace.

 

This meeting site

created for sharing,

with the openness of

a two way street.

 

Anyone can visit

sharing as they please

but most come and go

without a trace.

 

As they entered in,

in silence, now they

leave with a peace

to sweet.

 

Shared knowledge

is often granted here

and accepted often

with grace.

 

The enchanted people

of the forest

have a place.

Street lights in the rain,

dancing against the grain.

 

Make a mistake and stop

to late and many will feel

the pain.

 

Beautiful and mesmerizing

but deadly when wet

if one dose not

hold their lane.

 

Street lights in the rain,

dancing against the grain.

 

Green, yellow and red

are the colors memorized

in my brain

but when it rains

slow and careful

regardless the color

of this light chain.

 

Do Knot smile,

no matter

what you do,

seems to be

the mantra

of the ones

who spread

dark and gloom

and dread.

 

This little Knot

knows the secret,

to living in a

cruel place.

 

It's branch's gone

and its tree trunk too.

Cut down out of spite,

yet still it is smiling

back at me with all

its might.

 

This little forget me

not may not be a

flower but its still

here, filled with life's

smiling power.

 

The heart of the tree

in its roots dose rest.

where new growth

grows best.

  

Photograph of the roots and knots of a cut

down tree trying to grow back.

When a building is alive,

every corner can see you.

Following your every step

from the inner halls to your

car too.

Walking faster will not save you.

Be polite, do not write on the walls,

throw away your trash too.

These are just a few things

I would remember to do.

Least the building sees you

Mice or is it Mouse??

I used to construct dozens of these on a daily basis. Sadly this is the only one of two that I still have. I am slowly getting back into it though and assemblage and mixed media too.

Moving through the dark at night, I feel a love that's strong and bright.

 

It wraps its essence around my heart, promising we will never part.

 

When comes the end of the day and again darkness wants to stay.

 

I need only remember the light that love brought in, the warmth, the love, the happy grin.

 

When the darkness comes and goes, just remember the light as it forever glow's.

 

It is love's light that is strong within us all and giving it to others keeps it from being small.

 

Remember the light in the darker days and let it shine its loving rays.

8x8" handmade collage.

In the fish tank

this angel

swims around

 

Back and forth

up and down

 

Watching you from

the depths of the

bowl that is round.

 

This Angel is lonely

but always around.

 

swimming in the

bowl that is round.

 

If you should need it

just look in the glass

its there to be found.

 

Its beauty brings with it

a feeling of something

from long ago and profound.

 

As the Angel swims in

the bowl that is round.

  

Photograph of a fish in a tank, inverted colors, saturated, mirrored and re inverted colors.

 

The other day the leaves were laughing.

Green and shinning in the summer sun.

 

Today they are not laughing as they did before.

Now that summer is done.

 

There colors have changed to red, yellow and brown.

Falling from the trees by the ton.

 

As I watched one drift into a peculiar pose.

I realized Fall had won.

 

Looking at me with its laughing grin.

Autumn is hear, it has come again.

My wooden Butterfly. A small piece of a busted stump turned into a neat picture.

Sunset on the highway

always makes one feel blind,

but don't close your eyes

or take them of the road,

that would cause a sight

of the worst kind.

So into the world were the

suns rays are dark and the

sky's are a colorful find.

To a place that's sideways,

slightly inverted and frees the mind.

 

Photograph from the passenger seat of the sunset, tipped sideways, mirrored, inverted colors and saturated.

The tree in my back yard

on dark and stormy days

Becomes a life like creature

that peers out all gloomy and grey.

 

The water drips down

the thick recesses of the bark,

in well sought out paths,

eerily calling forth the beings

from within the tree.

 

Water, life giving water

falling from the sky

awakens my senses

and opens my eyes

to see.

 

The living souls all around us

the ones we do not see.

Other dimensions and places in time.

Uniquely linked and networked

in worlds unknown.

 

What we think we see,

we do not know

and what we think we know,

we do not see,

for blind are we to other lives

seeing not but our own.
