SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY

http://heyharriet.blogspot.com/

FLUKE!

It was meant to be a picture of a lady simply posing,

Smiling in a friendly sort of way!

But the 'snapper' didn't take account of all the Autumn shadows

And the fact that it was such a sunny day.

So the lady's now in silhouette, her smile is non-existent.

A 'happy snap' it certainly is not.

But the Opera House has taken centre stage and that's a bonus!

On the whole, you know, I rather like the shot!

STUDY IN STUDY

I crossed the park beneath the trees;

I saw her sitting at her ease.

.....But no! Her books were spread around

Beside her, open on the ground!

A student had found refuge there

In the blessed open air,

Under the arching blissful shade,

As though in a leafy country glade.

The traffic, faded to a hum,

Was just a pandemonium

That she ignored, as perching birds

Accompanied the foreign words,

Equations, algorithms, Greek,

Or whatever language she sought to speak.

Her study, a place of calm and ease,

There in the park beneath the trees.

FRAMED!

Oh! To be a fly on the wall when other folk are chatting!

I wish I knew what it was all about!

These friends of mine may merely be discussing art or tatting,

But what if it's scandal and I'm missing out!

Stepping Out

MONOCHROME WEEKEND

STEPPING OUT

Off we go to the Opera House

To enjoy a morning of Coffee and Strauss.

Not quite the girls of the Chorus Line

But, though we be-five, life's still benign!

DAZZLE-DARK

Here, in the dazzle-dark of day,

Between the shadow and the shimmer,

My arm encircles the moment.
