Description
The Art of Filename Maintenance
the bells begin ringing
they're tolling for me
beseeching, "come hither!
there's something to see!"
i click "save a copy"
and give it a name
something quite cryptic
it's part of the game
then close ultra fractal
my sweet reverie
and follow the peals
still beckoning me
it's nothing exciting
it's not even close
it's only my dryer
announcing clean clothes
i fluff and fold towels
and pair up the socks
dream of maid service
and cruise liner docks
i refill the dryer
and take leave of there
head back to the pc
the cat's got my chair
perched on my tailbone
at the edge of the seat
i re-open UF
but soon face defeat
what did i name it
that fractal of mine
how could i forget
in such a short time?
it started with "a"
of that i'm quite sure
"a blue one", "a red one"
oh geeze, there are more
"a good one", "a square one"
"a spiral", "a sphere"
"a mandy" , "a glyph"
"a globe from last year"
"a new one", "a cute one"
"a start" and "a tweak"
i curse at my filenames
and play click and seek
the bells begin ringing
they're tolling for me
my tailbone's gone numb
and there's nothing to see...
LOL!! True story!! Has this ever happened to you guys?
UF3 for image and frame.. with sig in PSP.
My hat is in my hand once again... and I can't thank you all enough for your amazingly gracious feedback (and, yes... your votes... I'm am very aware of where you guys have seen fit to place my last upload)... and I'm more than a little humbled... and forever grateful and thankful of all your support! Thank You!! I hope some of you will like this one and maybe even find a smile in the poem... ;) Hugs and a happy Saturday night to one and all!! Helen :)

Wow! I enjoyed the poem and the composition is beautiful! Excellent talent you have for sure....:)

This one made me think of my own madness when it comes to creating! Fantastic image... and the poem was the cats meow. Lubbit my dear, truly I do.
invidiosa
the colours here are fantastic - they are so subdued and yet vibrant - excellent petal shape and beautiful frame
redbeard
That only happens to me about four or five times a day, but instead of writing poems I usually reach for my hammer and swear at the vagaries of my machine! Not that I work on that many images, but every file I have seems to get lost. Glad you found this one, a real beauty with glistening surfaces and deep rich colors. Excellent as always, a treat for the eyes and soul of this great admirer of yours!

What a riot!! Story of my life!! Gorgeous render!!

Aaaw, Helen! Just beautiful! (Yeah, I have a cat like that too, she just loves sharing my seat!)
saldegal
Lovely spiral Helen, and the poem captures the nightmare of filenaming perfectly!
Marit
Great poem Helen! I also had that, calling my fractals things like 'pink play', 'could be nice', 'maybe' and a lot of 'test'! One moment I had a range from test#1 to test #31; that's the moment I quit titling ;-) I only give them a date now! Love your work Helen, this one is beautiful!
Juliette.Gribnau

RodolfoCiminelli
Splendid and very beautiful job!!!
Kathye
Great image and brilliant poem! Yeah, know the story, and many times I bless programs that off a 're-open' option in the file menu, the only way I will find things again sometimes :)
chesscanoe

Haha. Oh I can relate! You might as well have written that poem for me Helen except I don't own ultra factal (yet). I enjoyed this so much. And what a beautiful, clean fractal flower. A great entrance for this wonderful poem/story :)
kansas
Totally lovely! And your poetry rings so true. Thank you for both the image and poem. I saved both and hope you do not mind.

I gotta agree with redbeard...where's my hammer! Beautifully composed image with magnificent colors!!!
Mikan
Eheee, I've found a lot of smiles in the poem...Don't know why, but it remembers me of holidays...Can you tell me...why? I've found myself in this morning-/those smiles are back on my forehead-/that dream about you were talking/ is sleeeping awake!:)/ Now with a flower/I'm hunting a rabbit/that stole an hour/from my sweet sleep! :)) ehh, I'm not as good as you are, dear Helen! sigh Love the poem & your image, as well! Keep the smile on! Mihai
