Gazing Globe

brilliant green flashes
garden globe reflections
gazing at a soul











seasons sprouting green
ideas shooting cloud high
gaze entrancing light








charismatic glow
verdant personality
gaze and one shall see








shining glowing green
images ever-changing
gaze determinedly









eyes across the seas
intimate thought exchange
gaze in reverie

    Hi, loper!
    
    I was following the non-rhyming constraints
    of haiku for the King's contest, so any
    rhyming was uncontrollable!!!

  This is a very special collection of words and art,the colors and the theme blend together into a moving picture a pastiche of a person, a personality, and the things that seem to reflect a person's unique
  thoughts and ideas...such a wonderful work of art for a very deserving person...PK

  Dear M-C,

  verdant quartet
  aptly illustrated
  with final gaze
  
  
  Veggies are green, grass is too,
  few are so clever, Aesthete, as you.
  Will you be my Valentine on St. Patrick's day?
  
  A stunning cinqueku. Well-written and with a splendid finale. Best of luck in the contest.
  
  Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh (R.)

    Clever you are! Liking
    your description,
    quartet with final gaze.
    
    What an intriguing invitation!
    Clearly an exceptionally unique
    position to hold! Having no
    Irish blood lines, I shall let
    my French ancestry aquiesce!!
    
    Thank you, so much, kind Hugh!

          You'll be the very first French girl whom I have taken on a whirl
          although I feel compelled to say I mean just on Saint Patrick's day.
          I remember in Champs Elysees, I let a girl once have her way
          but that was during Bastille Day and I caught a fever from the hay.

            Hah! That sounds like a scene from a black
            and white movie, one that could be seen at
            the Keystone Theater. All drama and innuendo,
            much to the imagination.

              The night was black but she was white
              with everything that would excite.
              As soon as she turned off the light,
              her Ma came in - a real French fright!!

                It's about "gazing"--looking deeply
                to discern what lies beneath.
                
                Your comment sets the scene,
                French bistro, the Spy,
                undercover action, WWII film.
                
                It's that hypnotic eye in the top drawing. Draws out the mind!

  wow, I love the "psychadelic" feeling about your recent art ... (for me, this word has a positive connotation) ... like luminous mantras floating in space, transforming, enlightening zones of darkness and knots of grief, dissolving heavy energies ... bestowing peace ...
  the green-turquoise heart-throat-connection resonates very vividly here ...
  a faithful "translation" of the "essence of mari"
  wonderful

    Yes, I understand the meaning
    you impart with that expression.
    
    I think your spirit may have sent out
    waves, for I was thinking of your calm
    ways as I tried to interpret the spirit
    of the subject!
    
    After the drawings were completed
    it was an adventure to develop them
    further to illustrate the words.
    
    I was determined to find a way
    to portray the glow, the charisma!
    
    Ah, technology and the pen in union!!!
    
    So nice to see your sweet face here, dear maa!

  Oh, I really like all the drawings and the last one in special, together with the last verse...
  Means so much to be able to exchange thoughts while we are so far apart.
  Simply lovely, everything here!
  And with your permission, I'll steal the last graphic.
  
  You know, you are sooooooooo huggable! (pretend that word exists)

    Mariza, the tall leafy grasses shown in the pic
    are what were in my mind when I thought of the
    shoots reaching to the clouds---in the drawing.
    
    Actually these grew when the first bird feeder
    tipped too easily, and spilled the seeds on the ground.
    Now we have a sturdier model, but the birdies
    have all these tall, protective grasses growing
    up around their playground---their feeders, their birdbath! Great seeds!

    Yes, it is a word in use, particularly
    in commercial use for huggable products.
    But if it weren't we could make it one,
    couldn't we?
    
    I was happy with the ending, too.
    And I am still playing with variations
    of the last graphic. The word is reflected
    back from the "sea," but a bit hard to
    see in the version shown.
    
    Great inspiration from across the sea.
    Reason to create some more for your file
    so Yem doesn't get ahead of you!
    
    Glad you liked it!

  this one is very interesting in fact that looks like the 3rd eye on your globe. The eye of wisdom... of higher consciousness gazing over the crops. Eminating life-giving energy of the sun.
  A new age dream perhaps.

    Yes, the glow! I was determined
    to get it just right, the changeability
    of the subject, diversity.
    
    With these the words came first,
    though usually it's the drawings
    first, for they are the hardest.
    I knew the art would take me a few
    days, so I created the word concepts first.
    
    I appreciate your kind words.

  Ah, our Gaze, our Ms Goes, our "IT" will all come together to appreciate your wise words.
  
  "eyes across the seas
  intimate thought exchange
  gaze in reverie"
  
  That one not only defines the person but also our reactions to her poetry and of course to our interaction as friends, etc.
  
  eyes across table

          Moxie is like air or freedom or justice, etc...an inalienable thing. A self-evident thing...it's always there no matter if I mention it or not...maybe that is the "flash" in my story...the truth of Moxie.

            Now that is a striking concept! The flash--
            an obsession, a political party affiliation,
            a true love, a passion, Ghirardelli 60% cococa
            dark chocolate chips, a startling new idea, Moxie.
            
            Of course, Moxie surpasses the other items in
            the category!
            
            For anyone reading, wondering about the flash, see Keystone Theater, newest entry.
