Flash 55 - I'm Alive, You're Alive


 
I'm Alive, You're Alive
 
I survived the world’s end;
I hope you did, too, my friend.
I wish you the happiest of holidays;
I hope for lights and hearts ablaze.
I think the coming year will be grand,
I hope my prediction will stand.
I want to be extremely right.
I hope you don’t find this ditty too trite.

Flash 55 - Train of Thought

[click to make biggerer]
 
Train of Thought
 
i walked
not haphazardly
not aimlessly
but in a definite direction
unknowing of my destination
with a sense of purpose
a plodding pedestrian
upon a predestined path
to a place of possibilities
where i might discover
something new and exciting
breath-taking experiences
exhilarating beautiful sights
adventures
chance meetings
vibrant mysteries
just awaiting my
open soul

Wanted: Dead or Alive?
 
alive
pounding blood
extravagant thoughts
tingling elbows
anticipation

dead
adding machine keys
greasy dish water
grungy underwear
stagnation

alive
bursting colored lights
thumping beats
sharp bright citrus

dead
crusty gummed eyelids
dry tight throat
shingling skin cells

alive
crystal blue skies
diamond cut sunshine
ruby red cheeks
sparks flying between
fingertips
inquisitive minds
& questing lips

Quiet Vinnie and I went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art back on October 17, 2012. He knows what he likes and he likes what he knows.

Can you see his reflection below, shaking his head, wondering what the hell I see in this painting?
