What colours do you see when you write poetry?
gee, um, Ross
I dunno that I do write poetryI think its more like shards, pottery,
with bits missing, rustled potsherds,
No wheeling kaleidoscopic colours
a felt continuum, spectral tendrils
maybe a bluesy buzzing at 600 THz
or a flicker of mean reds at 800nm
absorption in absurd emissions
CMYK focal impressions
Bugger RGB GUI projections
just word roulette
drawing blanks
until the killer
click, fires…
or if we are going for
the mining analogy…sometimes when deadpanning
amidst the mud and gravel
a little colour glisters
and when punning
occasionally sloshed
words spill, leaving
a whit of sparkle
or a crock…
now this guy is a poet…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vU5MmSdQppQdunno why that came thru as a link
and not as a video panel like they usually do
I didna do the linky 'code' bracket thingy,
computers, eh! -
Here is some soft light from the south. Marlborough Sounds. This is actually from the same flight as the picture of Grassmere on page 5 (that was such an epic flight for photos out the window)

Lilith - its a special picture - yeah not the "hard enamel blue" of a South Island day but that liminal hue where sky and sea reflect each other so well that the horizon is barely holding the line between the two. I have been on the water in that light its a special place.
Thank you. -
Another soft light one. Albatross and Gull. Taiaroa Head.

Nice pic, David. And I particularly like your one of St Clair beach. I didn't mean we never have soft light down here, just not usually when the sky is clear. :-)

I have no idea what this plant was, but it was coming into its autumn colours in a fairly inconsistent way (Dunedin Botanic Gardens).

Cheers, Russell and Richard. I find it hard to look at some of the hills in Auckland City without thinking of Peter Siddell’s work. His pictures are a little bit unearthly but they could almost be real, with that soft, directionless light, and rolling green hills covered with perfect villas.

There is so little soft anywhere south
-o, I think of those child’s shin guards
made against matagouri, and the loving
much-washed muka that was a nappy lining
and an inner cape -like careful pouches – sewn
into a coarse sleeping mat- which helped an arthritic elder
gain a good night’s sleep (it was full of titi down…)
-other than those
it was warm arms and helping hands
and a close nurturing body-
and our usual human joys
-love expressed in song, humming, small momentary distracting toys- -

Holy crap, that plant must have got dressed in the dark.

I made these for my daughters' tenth birthday.

My week is made. You used "liminal" in a fitting and concrete sense.

Yes, I thought that after I'd written it. :-)

Lovely writing all round, folks. Thank you.

One morning in Waiuta, a ghost town near Reefton. A hard-edged day in a hard-edged place.

And to Deborah- I'd have to fight younger family members for these in the flesh...which is why I wont bother to on-send for a day or 2 yet...

Christmas toes.

So much good stuff here it's taken a long time to catch up, so many I might respond to, but here's one for a sea horizon in clear southern light - the crowded roofs of South Dunedin from Eglinton Rd Mornington outside my daughter's place two weeks ago. I like it that the road disappears over its own curving horizon too.

Oh Deborah - I never thought cup cakes could be such holy things - you are a magician.

Great photos and words peeps.
Kohu Kohu New Years day 198? -
Sumner beach after a storm. An inconstant horizon.
