Deep Blue Ocean


Aloha,
                 Here is a wave shot in Turtle Bay, Hawaii. This dark blue is a nice contrast against the white water, giving the wave its sense of excitement. Writers also can use contrast to create excitement in their prose. Let's write with that in mind today. By the way, this wave is brought to you by request from Jesse in Atlanta.                Enjoy!

 My Maple Syrup


Only fools stay
Where lonely cools the day
So much attention left to pay
 How's the weather out that way?

It's not whether now
 But when and how
December to March
 Will find a plow

Winter's hummer
Simmers like summer
Take on all comers
Paint-by-numbers 
Leaves will fall

So global 
And so heart warming 
A friend to you
Comes a trend swarming

Talking about back in the day
Smell the dew and it smells you
A new cut hay
Back in the day

What's this about a coming storm?
Is that another swarm?
Less snow more rain 
Feel the pain
 
Giddy up the bridle
 Kick that stirrup
I'm sure going to miss 
My maple syrup

Beauty


Aloha,
                  This is the inspiration photo today. I remember when I shot the photo, there were many people behind me crowding onto a city bus. You can find beauty and interesting dimension in any environment. This idea can also be true in sounds, or in the words you write. Just find the beauty.                                         Enjoy!

                   Dark Columbia

Dark Columbia, deep in my heart
A misty mountain song, lost at the start
I sense a dream in the wildest of blue
Deep Dark Columbia, I'll care for you

Slow my mind when I'm fast asleep
Nudge morning promises I must keep
I'll speak of love, sketch it out
Tell the story, you stretch it out

So deep and dark, you hold my mind
Slow and smooth, shaded sunshine
So sincere, with no shallow care
Dark Columbia, take me there

As subtle streams filter down
Muster your macho, cover your grounds
Black rim sediment, Cafe' noir
Deep Dark Columbia, do the chore

                         Fountain of Truth

Happiness happened oh so sweet
When your beauty appeared on my little street
With eyes so kind and a heart so soft
You shook my mind sent it aloft
Then right there on my little street
You rendered my life with dancing feet

Like a dream discovery rhumba
The fountain of truth java coffee mocha
Words rang true showing you care
With a voice so soft pure and clear

Love is the fountain of truth
Arrival contingent on survival of youth
Someday we'll know what's said is true
What love brings dreams come you

With those words of wisdom I did hear
My heart jumped up in the air
To this day I extend warm gratitude
For extending my life with attitude

I won't soon forget events back there
Came a beautiful girl out of nowhere
To render my life with dancing feet
Right then and there on my little street

                    Heavenly Eyes

Heavenly eyes, you've got heavenly eyes
When you look at me
Looking at you, looking at me, look at you
Just me and you,  and where we are

The night is you, only you
I'm swimming in your senses, losing my defenses,  
maybe what is meant is, I'll love you

No more pretending, love is descending
Beneath a starry night, I found you
So astounding were you, heavenly eyes

Beneath the moonlight
No one pretending, defending
What two hearts already know
Those heavenly eyes drifting in blue over you
With you, only you

Starry eyes find me, remind me, heavenly eyes
It's really true, what could we do, out of the blue
Love found me and you
Has finally found us, tenderly, heavenly high
Heavenly eyes and you
