A poet must never make a statement simply because it is sounds poetically exciting; he must also believe it to be true. ~ W.H. Auden

These week's prompt at one single impression is LISTEN, and here is my lanturne...head on over and join in

Paint

wild strokes,

spring sprouting,

nature listens,

peace.

Poetry makes nothing happen. It survives in the valley of its saying. Auden, W. H.

The prompt on this Weekend's Wordsmith is 'TIME', and I have come up with a sort of haiku..

purple petals sway

caught by the camera's eye

time stopped~
