Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Photo Fun

Were I given the choice
No matter the season
Heed the call every morn
Beguiling and playful
Come out and discover
Charge up the camera
Tote spare memory card
And head off for the day

Shooting million photos
Details and horizons
Feathery cloud patterns
Luxurious shorelines
Sun’s radiant caress
Cute graceful pussycats
Happy children laughing
Unfading open fields
Tall trees of every shape
Heavenward church towers
Birds soaring high above
Rainbows across the sky 

Why would I ever tire
I’d just love rushing home
Download my treasure chest
Sift for each gold nugget
Feeling mighty wealthy
Wrapping up the jackpot
Every wondrous blessed time
Appreciate the gift
Building my collection
Of art inspiration

Recharge my batteries
Load up my paintball gun
Watercolours, pastels
Charcoal, acrylics, inks
Create, create, create
Spawn interpretations
Allow colours to speak
Full tilt given the choice
