Poetry

This is the morning that I thought of Adrian Henri, because he left me something to think about. Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 lens. 100 ISO; f/3.5; 1/160th. "This lens is fully the equal of any Leitz or Leica 35mm Summicron on a Leica M" - Thomas Pindelski.

I see the barrow cast aside; The tubing made of fashioned steel, Rolled, and sealed, and galvanized: The bowl, the handles, and the wheel, All tumbling like a fairground ride, Then turning turtle in disguise.

Silbury Hill was built about 4,750 years ago and is the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe. At about 131 feet high and occupying 5 acres, it is comparable to Egyptian pyramids being built at around the same time. It would have taken 500 men working for 15 years to complete this Neolithic project. Photographed with a Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 lens on a Nikon D2Xs.

And sometimes thro' the mirror blue The knights come riding two and two: She hath no loyal knight and true, The Lady of Shalott. Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S lens. Processed in Lightroom. A Limbo Lockdown Production™.

In the place of death, and yews, and faded names on broken slabs, unvisited, unremembered: the birds, encouraged by the sextons who need to reassert life lest their spirits are crushed by the heavy air.

I did not like the inconsistencies at first (such as where distinguishing initials took their place) but later I heard the rhythm in this short and otherwise boring account. There is a poem in there trying to get out.

I was there. Many times I was there. Yet many clouds have passed over since, and the trees are taller now.

I was there. Many times I was there. Yet many clouds have passed over since, and the trees are taller now.

Looking back; Oh, way back - So long ago now - I would say Without a moment's hesit Ation That I have been fascinated With bus stops for Oh, a long long time. With buses, Less so.
