Description


FILTERS In photography, lots of what we do to ready a picture for display is filtered There's Cutout Dry Brush Poster Edges Neon Glow Dark Strokes, Spatter and many more In life, almost all we do is filtered There's I feel fine I like your dress No, you're too young, too old, too skinny, too fat I hate you I love you But the breakthrough in life comes when you both honestly agree To no filters at all Just say it lovingly like it is Not to hurt another's feelings But to enrich a friend's life And who knows how long these things will last But enjoy each other while "the bloom is still on the rose" Don't be afraid Don't hold back What are you waiting for? Christmas? Next Christmas is a long way off... Bill:) "Handgrenades for Harry" thumb_1997534.jpg

terrific poem Bill. (Though in some people's hands, the filter could be a way of bringing out 'more' reality, getting inside the person, where the filter isn't a filter, but a light shining inside...but that's not what you're referring to, I know; and it's clear from your image that it's not.) You posted this for New Years, and it's a perfect message, along with "don't wait till next christmas". Yes. Bravo. The original photo is nicely bathed in furrows while the filtered does bring out some essences, but leaves others behind. (I guess that's the whole meaning of "filter".) (The word, btw, is related to "felt": I have no clue why that's important, but you subscribed for a whole year, so you're stuck with my asides, lol.) You illustrated the poem well: Your metaphor of filters & filters is right on the money, and you divided it nicely, and the last stanza just naturally tells us what it's all about. You write very naturally, Bill, and it's always nice to see you write again. I hope you continue in 2010, you gave us some amazing pieces in 2009. You know, Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets & 35 to 40 plays, and they were all jam packed with metaphor, meaning, insights, towering power & verbal music: And he did them all in 20 years or so. So what's wrong with us?? I've written 2 things since July! (And they bit the grand wazoo!) We gotta get on the stick here! What's our excuse? Hope to see more from you, it's always good to see you put your soul into words...
