Oh Limp Pix

A photographer of Indoor Sports
Found himself dragged through the lower courts
The hotel said
He filmed their bed
When a buxom housemaid dropped her shorts

Premium Member Photography

Phlox of purple field, Bill's
photographing hidden
Phoebe, favorite bird.
Phased by nothing else, like
Pheasant flying up, he
photographs Phoebes. Next
Phalaropes, wading birds.

No Interests

Imagine No poetry
No photography
No music
do we  know our own worth ?

 a mean streak of  yellow light emits
and dimmer eyeballs entail
with a soupçon of an onion reminiscence

Premium Member George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw,
A critic with a vein of comedy and language, quite raw;
He wrote in a movable shack, he liked photography now and then,
Ladies man, died at 94, cremated and planted in his garden.

Premium Member A fan of the lens

photography is an obsession of mine
love taking snaps by design
the capturing of moments that align
my passion for chasing sunshine
and seeing how its beauty imitates the divine

Premium Member The Poet by Max Burchett

by Max Burchett

A writer, singer and songwriter,
A crooner, a teller of tales,
A dream maker, a soul shaker and captivator,
Hoping in verse and prose he prevails.

Premium Member The Spot

there was a time, before the eye, when 'all-this' (seen) was blank...
nothing...then a spot...a knot...andt, the lens was born....imaging...
close-ups...telescopic vision...photography and medicine....so much
from something so small.....as a spot.

Premium Member ART a recent HISTORY in blank verse

With photography
figurative art did flee
defeated by ego 'selfie'
Impressions took centre stage
'til 20th century abstract
became the rage
This expressive genre
still ruled the roost
until  digital facility was introduced
&  by AI was traduced
Form: Ekphrasis

Try As They Might

With just a "click" an instant pic:
All experts in photography!
The ubiquity- it makes me sick!
And makes the Art a mockery!

Take paper, pens- excuse to write:
Suddenly, all people are poets!
Even though each line is trite-
In the end, mostly...they blow it!

New Year

Off with the old
Into the new
Januarys gallant attempt
To startle the Year
Except we’ve been swimming in the rain
Refashioned old shoes with stitches
Missed the right pub
Spoilt for choice
Photography at Blackfriars
Perhaps its muse time
Find my friends keys
he needs a new mojo

Rosy Date 2

There's no green shoots
to our intended relationship
that's what she said
I felt alone, not so secure
leaving the situ, so assuredly set
had our  meeting as a chat only
I gave my best photography, poetry and music
you were not as deep as you first poundered
although you were a Covid organiser

Photography Inspired By You

My photography style is you:
I hear you. I see you.
You are beautiful.
Wish me luck
On my journey. 
And so it begin, 
With a camera, 
A little snap click
My interest begun, 
Every angle requires
Precision and appreciation
Ignites my interest
In photography, in beauty
In nature, then you of course.

Freelance Photography

Blank presentations of nothing, obviously
A relationship of one, bringing a calming numb
Feelings getting better and better than before
Grab hold of that distant memory, then let go
Forgetfulness seems to be scarce as of late
Seems the memories that cause the most pain
Are the memories that won’t go away

Premium Member At This Late Hour

Politics – too controversial 
  Religion – irreversible

Steamy-hot Romance – too fraught
  Criminality – don’t wanna get caught

Photography – too much fornography
  Alcohol and Drugs – Gulp! My autobiography

What’s left to write about at this late hour
   ~ Blooms and blossoms, fragrance and flowers

Premium Member The Art of Photography

Picture taking quite an art
History has proved that so
Over the years gone by
Telescopic lenses now are all the go
Our world shows many changing shades
Greys are not for the pro
Reds and blues bring more colour
Always be careful nice and slow
Planning ahead gives advantage
Hands on to make great slideshow
Form: Acrostic

Paparazzi

People who are on a mission
Trying to build their reputation 
By shooting photos of stars on vacation,
Or maybe at some exhibition.
On possessing these famous faces
They quickly run to several marketplaces
Hoping to rake in millions of transitioned president faces
Then they lay back feeling like photography aces.

Rosy No 3

There's no green shoots
to our romance 
she liked Numan
I liked Howe
I feel alone now
when she planned to
leave the sit so aptly
All she had our meeting down to
was a chat
when I gave my best
of poetry and photography
and music
You were not as deep
as you made out
despite being a coordinator for Covid jabs

Premium Member Life Accelerated

Someone shot a sloth-
in time-lapse photography
Descending a tree
 with Charlie Chaplin movements
minus mustache,
its tail hooked over its arm like a walking stick

The eye never moved–
like a dancer's in pirouette,
sunlight flashing like a million paparazzi

Overcome by clouds-
a most un-sloth-like creature.

Black and White Photography For Contest

In new perspective I see you

Now no color spoils the view

Shadows bow to black and gray

Deeply contrast  light of day


I prefer you

White and black

A pure light source

Floods your back

White streams radiate your sharp boned face

With illuminating fragile grace
