Forever rest in long grass, / dappled by the shade of trees….
A few words which I hope go some way to explain my motivation for taking pictures of graveyards!

The tree of life grows within me now / I feel it now / I breathe it now / Its leaves tickle my aura now / Its branches keep me solid now / Its…

DEAR READER, I FEEL IT WOULD BE A MORE DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE IF YOU READ THE POEM AND VIEWED THE IMAGE THAT INSPIRED IT FIRST. THEN RETURN TO READ THE DESCRIPTIONS TEXT—-FIRST LET IT WASH OVER YOU!—DON’T LEAVE WITHOUT READING THIS, PLEASE! ENJOY. / ~ ~ ~ / Art: the red umbrella / ~ ~ ~ ~ This poem is based on & Inspired by & written for the RedBubble Group “Collaboral Damage” The photograph that inspired it was a collabolal work by artists Kara Rasmanis , Helen McLean and Jenny Hall . Kara Rasmanis wrote in the Photograph’s description: “Another corset city shoot with Helen Mclean and Jenny Hall. The Shot was taken by Jenny and I got to play with it in Photoshop….” / ~ ~ ~ / The poem is my contribution to the Group. A collaboral piece, if you will. I will submit it in hopes of its acceptance. The tale in the poem is fictional. So is the Restaurant in the title (I recommend Grand Chau Chow in Chinatown on Beach Street Um The Baby Clams in Black Bean sauce, and the chinese watercress umm – (Sorry, That’s why I ask you to read it first.) Outside of seeing this piece on Kara Rasmanis’s page,(via the Collaboral Damage group site) I’ve never heard of or met any of the three artists mentioned ans acknowledged here. My hope is the yet another Artist will gather the sum of these three artist’s contribution (Self included) and create a work based on the sum of all here. Not forsaking any information offered by the descriptions. And then submit this to the group as a collaboral work. All to form a thread of artworks growing from a single image created by two artists-working-together. And then ask (In its description) for this to be furthered including the work and description (you) creates. Or the collaboration you enter into to do the same. My extended hope is that the moderator(s) comment on this. And in anyway possible, promote it, or the idea of I at least. It’s all about RESPECTING the sources of inspiration! Thank you all, past present, and future. C.C Arshagra / JANUARY 15th, 2008 (Martian Luther King Jr.’s Birthday)
So much beauty in God’s creation / His handiwork spread throughout the nation
The swaying branches of the tree…
As the tree bends with the wind
There the tree stood Cold & Alone / Not even one leaf to call it’s own / So sad did it look it made me cry / I could hear it asking me Why…
Thank you for the beautiful photo COLD & ALONE Please check out my friend Wayne’s (Photo40s) other awesome photos on RB

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

A classic haiku. / The first line came to me on a beautiful, warm spring day as the breeze fluttered through my open window. I wanted to make it into a poem, but I couldn’t get past the third line. / Then I read a story (required reading for my American Lit class, lol) where the main character’s mother wrote haiku for a Japanese-American newspaper. And I remembered: haikus are only 3 lines, and were 5, 7, 5. I counted the syllables in the lines I had. It was perfect. I usually prefer to write unorthodox things in an orthodox fashion, but this one fits into the category of “haiku” perfectly. The syllables are all correct, and it’s about weather. lol

Each Who Sings Now? poem I have written is inspired by a Teacher found in Nature; a tree, star, animal, stone, etc. from which we can learn so many priceless lessons… if we only take the time to listen. Many people enjoy trying to guess which Teacher inspired the poem before going on to read about them in detail. Can you guess who is singing?
You kiss me / Only softly / This is when we’re at our best.
Something from long ago…

An exercise in using as many words containing “con”, this poem contains 42, inspired by TREES. HAPPY WINTER to you all
Then the snowflakes begin to fall / Dressed in white so beautiful and so delicate / The icy crystals cascading softly
poem about wishing to be beautiful
Generous Heart leads to Generous Mind. I will show you the path of the Gentle Warrior, Modest, loving, innocent, mercifully kind.”
Each Who Sings Now? poem is inspired by a Teacher found in Nature; tree, stone, animal, plant, etc. All Our Relations are still willing to teach anyone willing to gratefully listen. Nothing is ever truly lost as long as there is still someone willing to look for it. Can you guess who is singing?
