Artistic??

[littlecat]

Okay, I have read this through and agree with Kikmosa that it should not die down. I loved all the poetry and you guys are all terribly gifted. Loved the pictures too, and would love to show you one of my own... (first try, be patient please!)

This is one that I took off my balcony at night. Although the cool view was spoiled by a deep breath or something, I like the result as it looks like music notes are jumping around the night sky!

I have poetry from my teenage years that I may dig up and share (all that angst!!) But most of the stuff I have on hand was written after my dad died. Angry, very very angry, but I agree that some things just need to come out in order to move on..

Carry on with the great stuff!

WOW, that's cool. The effect is so dramatic.

Light Show

A symphany of dancing lights
Flashing embers of sound
Fires of music dashing
Through the darkness of my mind

Quick twinkling of flutes
Flashes of bass drums
The steady pulsing of
Cellos sounding through my eyes

Here the brightness of the violin
There the obes flare
You see the sound of trumpets
Dancing through the air

The lights play a merry song
Filled with dreams of day
I listen to what they show me
As I drift through their melody

kiki- nice imagery. I enjoyed that one greatly.

 

[littlecat]

Darn Kiki, that's pretty much what I think when I look at it, just a whole lot more expressive...

Thanks!

Your Welcome.... Your words helped me to see it too... It is just like a sheet of music coming to life in lights.

Been looking at that pic again and something totally different came through so I'm going to try to write it again. Tell me which one you like and I'll take out the other one.


City Symphany

I gaze out across the way
The lights from the city
Flash before my eyes

They mingle with the sounds
That drift from the streets
As darkness brings it's own life

I let my mind relax and drift
Til my sight pulses in time
With my heartbeat

I listen as I stare about
I hear the lifebeat
Of the city from everywhere

The sound of laughter
A red pulsing light
From somewhere close

Footsteps pounding
Up and down the street
Like bass drums beating

My heartbeat trembles
To the rhythum around me
The lights keeping tempo

A car horn blares
A trumpets blast
Lights blazing there

A swelling murmer
Of crowded street
A glow from lights unseen

Everywhere I see lights
Dancing in harmony
With the sounds of life

I let my focus sharpen
And again they are but
Doors and windows shining

But through those doors
And from the avenues
A symphany of music comes.

Kiki...hard to choose. Both are good.

I'm not sure but I think I like the first one better. Seems to fit the pic more.

I'll bow to the artist. But I see it more like two interpretations of the same subject. Equally good & valid, just different perspectives.

see if you can translate!

La Meme Cite de la Tristesse

Est-ce que sa chanson etait pour moi?
Chaque parole qu'il a chante, tellement suavement?
Je reste au lit et change le train de la melodie
essayant de l'assortir a ton battement de coeur.
Et j'observerai par la fenetre
la nuit de la ville
allumee par un terne neon, enseigne pour whisky
ou l'amour nouveau
et la tristesse ancienne sont bienvenus.
Tes yeux verts brises
hardis, comme les montagnes
entourent notre ville.
Et mes tristes yeux ne vont pas t'oublier,
le 3:33 me pousse hors de cette ville
au fond de la bouteille de whisky...

Not sure but I think it has something to do with sad songs and love and lying in bed matching the rythym of the melody to a heartbeat. And drinking. And a train carrying you away.
How close am I?

i make shit out of glass. damn. my files are to big to post.. ill come back later and post them on a page.. rock.

 

[thequietstorm]

I think that this is a great idea for a thread. I consider myself to be very artistic in several areas so I will post a few.

The first is a photo I took of the Expierience Music Project building, in Seattle WA.

This is a photo of the International Fountain, near the Space Needle in Seattle WA.

This is a picture from a 3D application that creates landscape scenes. The app is called Bryce.

I also build websites and furniture. I am trying to start writing but not erotic 'lit.

I love your pics. They're so dramatic. The way the shadows dapple the floor in the first. The water playing above the woman in the second. The third is lovely with the sharp edges against the sky. And the image you created is beautiful. I love the way that one tree glows like a warm fire in the center.

Thank you Kikmosa! I'm glad you like them.

Thank you Kikmosa! I'm glad you like them.

Would you get upset if I was to write a poem about one or two of them? Thought I'd better start asking first lately.

 

[thequietstorm]

Actually I think that would be great! Can I see when they are done?

I'll post them here and your welcome to them.

kiki...I look forward to more of your interpretations of storm's photos. I liked the previous ones very much.

Dappled shadows dance
Across the floor with
Flashes of light as partner

Music fills the air
Keeping rhythm in
Strident beat

Ghostly echoes from
A gloried past
In pantomime of life

People pass through
Never seeing what
Chances round them

Faster whirls the
Dancing shadows
Brighter shines the light

Desperation fills the
Air as darkness
Draws ever near

Til at last the dance
Has ended, waiting
Now for morning light
