Bokeh Dreams

In that golden hour just before sunrise, 
Just before sunset
Fisheye, zoom, wide lens
Take in all the room
F stop
Black and white shows the truth of it
Dark black room makes the proof of it
Kodachrome and blue print blues
Take the shot
Print the news
Focus in 
Take it on the chin
Blurring lines and
Negatives
Developing a solution
To my lack of resolution 
Plunging from one tub into the next
When the shutter stops
It’s time to unlock your 
Bokeh of dreams.

I wish to thank you for your encouragement. I am not sure if my comments are reaching everyone. Seems to be hit or miss for me... I am most grateful for your thoughtfulness and for an outlet to my creative chaos !

This is so good! I was taken back to photography class in university, majoring in painting, winding up writing, this appealing to every sense. My best to you in the contest, a winner for me! xomo
