I see 3 little birds
landing softly
on the bird feeder
and it’s hard
not to hear
a gentle reggae lilt
in the background.
Who am I?
Am I a figment of color
On a background of noise?
Am I an indecision?
What an I?
An idea lined by words?
Unknown.
On
the verge
of heaven-
'ere the petals
bloom
Tribute to Michael Bruce and William Soutar
See my blog today for background
life is a piano
white days near black days
hot fingers
cold fingers
the death
always in the background
murmuring a lullaby
There’s a little background noise
Timeless telling graffiti
Imprinted beautifully
Directly on wall
Russell Sivey
Stump,cut low to the Earth,
a telephone pole stands in the background
....silently cries,
" I was once a tree..."
So,
if you
like to play
music while you
make love; choose
a live album – you’re
guaranteed to get some
applause every five minutes
On a dark background
Are four white petels flowers
Inside a bug sleeps
The stems and leaves are dark green
The art work hangs on the wall
Colors swim across the page;
Red, blue, yellow, purple, green;
Blend into the background as,
Artist paints a scene.
Meeting, toast, and air conditioner.
The jazz background dissonance.
Phosphorescent drinks in crystal cup,
Holding all virtual life inside it.
in the rain under street lights
the silence falls to the background
i think of you and i am never alone

hope
starts as
a bright light
that dulls with time
and yet somehow shines
in the background;
though it’s now
called a
wish
Although you stand in the background,
your spot light shines very bright!
Because you my friend are a star.

Form:
Giraffe long slim neck
Giant black tongue eats leaves
Beautiful design
Reticulated brown
Outlined in black background of white
Fights like a tiger
Music notes in the background.
A heartbeat away time and oceans apart.
Thoughts of you linger always.

decorated homes
with carols in the background
everyone sharing...
love envelop our homes
Christ is born, it is Christmas time…
best chill out background
smooth relax lounge endless slow
dream hour jazz chords
laid back saxophone
mellow piano music
coffee aroma
stan sand
upon my door
i looked across the road
Where days before
a kind woman
died of corona
and in the background
iPhone advertises
in my sighies
all monies dies
MALERICHSTA
a painterly
feeling
for form
outlines
merging
One
into
another
a background
face
in
patches
of
light
&
shade
In a group of more than two, I
Move slowly behind, not by choice.
Heartfelt conversations one day, the next,
Empty chatlogs.
Rather like I'm invisible,
Except
Rise above the world
You have to rise above the noise
You have to become the figure against the wallpaper of the world
You have to stand out against the background
Background glitter sets the scene.
Swaying locks of long green braided hair.
Dangling in the gentle breeze.

Than-Bauk, another style using the step words starting with the same letter.
My youth is gone
Satan gaffed me
A genius trick
americano extra large in hand
coffeehouse soundtrack playing mellow in the background
muse with pen all set

Human perception is self-limiting - like radars, we scan for targets - not diffuse area.
II
Gestalt psychology knows how humans focus on figures, not background canvas.
