With my brightened lens, I watch you mystically zooming in zooming out, and my eyes focus on the shutter where a hundred gulls flap in brief moments: carefully, I seize the image, almost lost in transition as my rushed stanzas etch the language of your distinct angles. Following your trail, I chance upon a lattice of asters sprawled on pine wood grating my line of phrases: flowers posing without shame, beautiful like summer ‘s shape...and I watch you romp in the blur of rain clicking on a Kodak chrome; while my quill explodes with the burst of your animated snapshots. My dear, in this symbiotic flow where poetry and visual arts understand the hidden grandeur of the world, shall this my verse meld with your splashed landscape? .................... August Premiere Contest for Brian Strand

wow, you REALLY know the heart of the poet to get to her. Not only is your poem a great bribe, but it stands on its own as a quality poem (which others in this contest do not do!) LIke mine, which is a pure bribe written just to Casarah! It's not even posted yet, so embarrassing what I did!!

Excellent Nette dear freind. You have beautifully summarized the would be shape of Poetry and Visual Arts. Great Visualization from the angles of the Camera unto the surface of the heart, where these images form shapes into a Poem or Song. My good wishes for your contest entry dear friend. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra K Kapoor
