Image: Bare and Decadent (here)
10 of 12 given words:
pick charge charm electricity sink site wave
resonate (filled with a deep clear sound that continues)
needle class
stumbled upon an exciting situation
with pick of nature's choice of entry
laid bare to waste and sadly abandoned
but charged with charms of mystery
of bewildering wonder in acquiesce
what could it be with no electricity
to sink to levels of debilitating appearance
where absent was a sense of urgency
on site resolute of its own standing
with waves of music that resonate in tribute
needling the inquisitive mind wondering
perhaps props in a class of artistic pursuits

I love that gnarly tree branch in the photo.........here on the coast, we often experience life without electricity. I always keep a dozen fat candles at the ready, and a primed flashlight, for reading. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteI too love the branch - like driftwood. We rarely lose power but still I keep candles on hand and a battery operated fluorescent lantern for reading.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot live without candles here... we have them for comfort year around... I also have a stove and plenty of warm clothes... it would be terribly cold without electricity here.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the makings of something artistic. Nice poem, Hank.
ReplyDeleteExcellent use of the given words, Hank! Don't know what I would do without electricity, it's so important nowadays💞
ReplyDeleteA work of art done by nature. Lovely writing Hank!
ReplyDeleteYes, we do need the inquisitive mind. May we always have one!
ReplyDeleteWHAT? (Hehe just being inquisitive)
ReplyDeleteZQ
Hi Hank,
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite part as you know my mind wanders...
needling the inquisitive mind wondering
perhaps props in a class of artistic pursuits
The phrase "nature's choice" jumped at me, especially after reading that it was "laid bare to waste"...
ReplyDeleteI think you have expressed the intriguing nature of the photo very well.
ReplyDeleteLoved this bit: "to sink to levels of debilitating appearance/where absent was a sense of urgency". Your Ekphrastic rendering works very well! :-)
ReplyDelete-HA
Can sure see things in a new light and make something artistic take flight.
ReplyDeleteNicely done
ReplyDeleteYes the artist will see what every one else cannot. Nice write Hank
ReplyDeletemuch love...
