Monday Potluck ~ Diametrically opposed...
This photo is a collaboration
between my friend bowlofstars
and myself. If you follow the link
in his name you'll find a piece of
his poetry.
It will be well worth your time. :)
Diametrical Beauty - October
half a world away, a northern autumn moon shivers
in anticipation of winter's plans to cover her hills
and valleys in a cold white blanket
leaves dance and swirl to the gusts of fall winds,
blowing away the residue of summer's exhausted
heat faded days
and while the breath of the north wind is preparing
to freeze its lands and seas, a startling southern sun
begins to warm a path to the water's edge
hungry waves cover shallow footprints like watery
hands, as the sea rushes back into itself with its
imagined catch
blue skies and fluffy clouds ruffled by a gentle
spring breeze watch lazy waves coax summer out
of her long sleep.

Love,
Eaton

The North with the cold, and the South warming up. Your poem creates a beautiful picture of the world. Your template is also pleasing. Love both.

Love the photos! Thx for stopping by my blog. :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful combination/photo and words;)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how you juxtapositioned the contrasting beauty of the two hemispheres. Sometimes we're so egocentric that we forget to recall that down under autumn is not the same. Loved it and wonderfully written.
