I just had to do it all over again!

by la_spice @ Thursday, Jul. 19, 2007 – 17:34:24

This morning my blog friend Gordon posted a picture of a beautiful sunrise. He has kindly given me permission to use it as an illustration for a poem which I posted last week.

A New Day Dawns

Misty morning
Wet with dew
Shades of pink
And shades of blue

Silent stillness
Fills the air
Senses wake
And now aware

Marshland meadows
Lost in swirls
Mist now moves
The day unfurls

Hills and forests
Come to view
Rising high
In front of you

Early birdsong
Seems to say
Silence is broken
Welcome new day

        Well I just thought I'd get in first with a low low tender and the publicity of associating with the finest poet on the blog [ or indeed anywhere ] would increase my photographic business [ no funny stuff either ! ].
        Maybe you could give me a banner on the blog; any chance of that ?

        Well it seems to me the way forward would be to either:
        
        1. Find images that illustrate your poems (difficult I'd have thought)
        
        2. Commission specific images with an idea in mind, then construct the poem around the image (a tad more flexible)
        
        Once the collection is together, take it to a bunch of publishers. That's a bit simplistic I know...

        Mmm - I had rather worked out the first two all by myself
        
        It's the next step that's tricky!

It looks better on your blog than it does on mine. But there again I just shove them in any old way, and sometimes they actually appear on my blog, not often though, but I think I'll do more in future.

    Look, if you want Hobnobs go out and get your own, and James of Lindow ( or should we call him BRUNO ) stop stirring it. I don't let anyone take a Hobnob off me, but maybe I'll allow you one or two soon, but just you like, not anyone else, so keep it to yourself la_spice, I have a reputation to live down to you know. Cheers Gordon...

  An excellent double act La Spice and Gordon
  By the way have you ever tried the Hobnob trick? I am not sure I can buy them here in NZ but the trick is to slide the Hobnob from ones forhead (chocolate side down) across the cheek, over the filtrum (furrowed bit under the nose!) and into the mouth without dropping it! That will keep you busy til lunchtime
  - - la_spice
    - Friday, Jul. 20, 2007 @ 11:48:48
    I'm trying to imagine it!
    
    Is this game a double act too? I don't think that Gordon's wife would approve of us smearing chocolate over each other!
    
    Anyone else for a bit of hobnobbing?
    
    Who needs lunch anyway!
