Upon Return
Mesa tables drift throughthe vast western desert plain.
Cactuses suspend this idle time
and promise fountains of oasis.
Catch the upward open sky and promise fountains of oasis.
to descend this vacation high.
Abound blue goes to sheltered view
surrounded by sparse budding trees.
Settle humble cabin life- lake and woodssurrounded by sparse budding trees.
where violets bloom on bereft return.
Here’s a quick painting from my new sketchbook. I did this
rather quickly. More entries on working with time constraints to come . . . A
bientot!
Lovely picture!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it and thanks again for the excellent restaurant suggestion. Barrio Cafe not only served up a fabulous dinner, it made us feel like we were eating up some local culture.
DeleteBeautiful poem and painting! :)
ReplyDeleteWorking under constraints makes our work better-- at least that's what I think. Have you ever seen The Five Obstructions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Five_Obstructions)? It's one of my favorite documentaries where a Danish film maker is challenged to remake his short film 5 times, each time using a different restraint/obstruction like time, format... and well, I won't give away the rest.
Hope all is well!

Hi Kim: Hope Mocca went smoothly for you. Thanks for the note about the Five Obstructions, I must check it out. It reminds me a little bit of 99 Ways to Tell a Story. Have you read it? Also dying to see the latest on Hearts and Holes . . .
