Yes, I'm back and I will post some photos from my vacation on the Outer Banks of North Carolina sometime in the next couple of days. It was a wonderfully relaxing time but I'm glad to be home.
This week's prompt for Poetry Thursday is to reflect on a favorite line of poetry or quote. I wrote this poem a number of years ago when I was deeply involved in exhibiting my photos. The above image is the invitation to my last exhibition in 1998.

How can I say things that are pictures?
Tony Morrison
Split second
Perceptions
Enlarged
Flooded with light
Memory
Shadow
Portraits of myself
Behind the lens
Truth
Illusion
Hung like clothes
In the sun
To dry

Lovely. Two weeks ago I was at a birthday party and the birthdaygirl's father is a well-established painter. He gave a great little speech about her personality- by color and shape and pattern. Wow.
Hi Joan.
Great poem and I love the vacation pics. I have moved my blogs to wordpress.
Hi,
I find your doll quite disturbing to look at...but your poem is just amazing...words very carefully crafted and woven...
Thanks!
Wow. Very nice. I especially liked "Memory Shadow". Thanks for sharing!
Great choice. I love that last statement:
Hung like clothes
In the sun
To dry
Sad to say that I don't read enough Morrison. Perhaps I should start. Thank you!
* That photo is hauntingly beautiful. I wonder what the rest of your doll series looks like.
What a great description of photos - those last three lines really draw it all up into a perfect little bundle.
