unto the uttermost

“Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”

Quote: Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Sometimes its not about going by all the rules,

Its about bending some

Getting the results done

For when they said to the donkey 

just lie down and die

He heard not and kept shaking dust off his back

the faster they shoveled the faster he shook it off

I was from a long journey, I could barely muster strength for the stairs home. I was reminded by the inner voice that today is the tomorrow all procrastinators thought wouldn't come yesterday.  Inch by inch I will grow my yard.

#100daysofblogging #day7

not all posts have titles

...and I saw life like dried leaves

Detached from the branch

Rustling away in the wind

It floated for a while then

Settled on the water surface

The gentle wind carried it to the edge

There it lay

Brown and moistened

Waiting to decay


not every poem makes sense, some are just but glimpses into an uncharted worlds. written during hazy thinking experiment time

#100days of blogging #day4

You

My chief of staff

Diamond

In heaps of chaff

My imperfect princess

One I’m dying to impress

With action

With words

With my souls last breadth

            Can’t remember when I wrote this….can’t forget who though. Hmmm…I wrote a lot of poems of love

Taking a photo; Making a photo. The difference

Making photographs as opposed to taking photographs. There is a difference in this two. Good photographs are taken, great photographs are made. With all the melee and excitement directed at a final image few people ever wonder what it takes to produce the moment. However, there are photos that when taken are just as good as those made. The following images show the steps and journey to the creation of a masterpiece. It started out well with the event ongoing and led to the conception of a great idea. 

Arrived midway through the event

Had to look for a way through the crowds

Shot of the ceremony and graduation square from a vantage point

End of ceremony; distinguished guests arrive

Graduands milling around while the ceremony was going on

Guests, parents and business men and women were at work.

The exodus

While we waited to create the shot we worked shooting various people and scenes

We waited

people took their time leaving

but the guests were seemingly busy and filed out fast

still we waited....

and got pissed waiting

but we did some pro bono work for few friendly faces

we made friends

and met and shot a band doing what they do

then the shoot started

trying out various poses

and clumsy antics

when the coast was clear prepping started

the location was not perfect but it was ideal

we had to scout for something that suited the intended desire

makeup and clothes were models own hahaha

Perfecto!!

find here the final masterpiece

after we scouted alternate spots

and created mementos of a lifetime

it is befitting to say the lens and the model were in-sync

and the day ended on a high.

It took hours of waiting, a great set of eyes and a determined lot to pull this off. It may look like the Job was simple but it was not. When they think they can pull off what you did in a lesser time then you have done a good job. This was poetry with the lens look out for more images of delight.

my little piece of ginger

I saw her it eating ginger

She did it secretly

Like it was taboo

A sin

Something not to be spoken of

She chewed at it

With surprising dedication

The curiosity couldn’t bid wait

What with the bitter taste in my mouth

Okay

I get the tingly burning sensation

Like the tongue is in momentary ecstasy

It was like a drug that raw ginger

She must have been addicted

I saw her eating ginger

One more time

And when she saw me see her

She hid it

Like it was a taboo

A sin

Something not to be spoken of

I stepped up and asked

So what is with this ginger?

“You really don’t want to know”

If I didn’t I would not have asked.

“It’s for the morning sickness”

Blank

“I told you, you wouldn’t want to know”

Still blank

I took a piece of ginger

This was for my nervous sickness
