Wordless Wednesday: Before Mount Rushmore Gutzon Borglum did this.

Before Mount Rushmore

What is this Beauty?

My offering on Dazzling Whimsy’s site today. I can sympathize with a teacher starting a new year, so helping as I can.
Much Respect

There is beauty in the unknown

But there is also danger

What is this that I have found

I should know you but you are a stranger

Your brilliance brought me to a stop

And I had to have you for my own

But I dare not touch you lest I be locked

But memento of our tryst to be shown

Now I long to know who you are

I share your beauty with others

For I cannot go another day

Or else my heart smothers

Yes a bit of my own photography. (Scary I know, and not good, but I love this photo. It was taken on an outing with my son ‘B’.)

Much Respect

High above the world.

I helped out a friend today as she is overloaded with real world life. Teacher, Mother, and so many other things. Her photography in My Home state atop the mountain that I used for my Perseverance photo last week. So her photo and my Haiku. Please visit her and follower her. She has amazing photography! I kid you not. (I’ve never typed that phrase before. Kinda weird.)

High above the world,

My heart soars with a beauty,

Everlasting love.

by Ronovan

Helping out today, I was given this photograph as inspiration. Kate picked it intentionally as it is one of her daughters standing atop Stone Mountain, oddly enough the subject of my wordless Wednesday photograph. To achieve the quality of shot Kate did here considering the haze one can obviously get from the atmosphere is exceptional. The richness of the coloring of her daughter is amazing. I know the rock that girl is standing on. These days I wouldn’t do it, but then again she is the one that was a flyer for competitive cheer for most her life.

My Haiku was an easy one to write when you take everything into account. You have a mother taking a photograph of her daughter high above the world. It took me only a very few moments to write…

The rules are simple: For how to write a Haiku in English and using the 5/7/5 syllable pattern click here.

No words or numbers of any kind can appear in the images you use. This includes sign language . . . of any kind.

If some of you would like a theme to prompt you what to begin thinking of you can perhaps use. . .

Skin & Heat

What do the words mean to you, and how can you connect the two words through that second line? You do not have to do the prompt, it is just a prompt to make you start thinking of things.

My Thirst For You

An excerpt from a novel I am currently revising. The words are those of the leading man writing to the woman he loves during a low point.  I am finally embracing writing Romance and Love that I have been avoiding writing in novel form for so long. The book was written last year, but has been marinating since then. Now I am ready to make a go of it. Wish me well on this journey.

A confession is required. This was not the Wordless Haiku Decipher I had planned. But with the passing of Robin Williams this is what I created. The first and last lines could be reversed depending on where you are in the mourning of his passing. At this time I am trying to reverse them, as I am certain he would wish.

 Here are my words.

As you can see, the lines can be reversed as our sorrow slowly passes and the laughter and joy Mr. Williams brought to us once again takes over.
