Laying there, on the studio floor,
Lined with black and violet
With a form fit tattooed butterfly
Wrapped in pale light,
Lies forgotten simplicity which,
Shines from the nasal piercing
That makes parents shudder—
And bulls wonder
With shutter speed (of 1/2000)
And optimal depth of field (F8)
In an instant, everything shunned
By modern society has been captured
Digitally accepted, mastering the real beauty
Commonly forgotten by the culture
Dreamt of by those that function,
against the grain

ah stuff my photography teacher would cringe and rise for...nah never mind, he wasn't too keen on gothic studio work

As a parent and grandparent I shudder too - what computers can do with photographs these days - digital creations can make anything from basically nothing and have it looking super. Interesting verses.

thanks. i'm glad you enjoyed this write and especially that you popped in to check out what was new with my writing.

thanks. i always aim for specifics and authenticity. maybe i should start writing spam email asking for money in massive amounts. it'll go like this:
hi! I'm nigerien royaltea and i'm hoping you culd send me monie for mi starving nayshion.
please ignore the fact that i have spelt nigerien wrong and other possible english words of challenge.
think it'll work? authentic enough? -
Very good. I feel like you really put some emotional/poetic investment into this. Not that you don't on other writes, I just liked the feel of this. These lines...
That makes parents shudder—
And bulls wonder
were superb. I can speak for the shuddering parent.And I'll bet the bulls do wonder. -
I love the added specifics of photography. I think it makes this piece pop with authenticity. And wrapped up in nice imagery and emotion, you've got it goin on. lol
-
