Lens-Artists: Open Sesame

VJ Knutsonblogging, challenge, photographydoors, lens-artists, open sesame, photos11 Comments

A door defines a boundary,
an invitation to enter within,
or a warning to stay out –

Such finality in doors boarded,
an inference of profound loss.

Some doors tantalize with screens
permitting sounds to emanate, but
blocking view from nosy passersby

and some doors shout attention,
prepared to accommodate masses

(For Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Open Sesame.)

Eagle and Crow

Eagle arrivesand I am at oncesmall, insignificant Breath heldI am stillness basking in majesty Till ubiquitous crowcalls his cronies,chases eagle off Everything gains perspective. (Tuesdays, I borrow from Twitter @Vjknutson. Image my own.)

Seasonal Defiance

Cast my shadow over white banksassert presence: proud, defiant Will find beauty in deserted placesand colour in the monochrome Haunted by a Winter state of mindresolved to stretch despite chill. (Image my creation)

No Way In

He fills the homewith sweetness –serenades their love –while she picks awayat every gesture,imagining subterfuge His floral wordsonly serve to pokedoubts – she readsbetween the linesof ornamental landmines He lights candlesto set a mood,but she is alreadyplanning a funeral –her wrung out heartunwilling to fall.
