weekly photo challenge: change

This pile of

fallen leaves

separates my hermitage

further and further

from the world of woe

somehow getting by

Today, today too,

somehow getting by these days, still

living in a haze.

for you who rarely visit…

for you who

rarely visit,

though you have already arrived,

may the early evening storm

not blow so hard!

let’s go…view blossoms

Children,

let’s go to the mountain

to view violets.

If they scatter away tomorrow,

what can we do?

blossom viewing

home from blossom viewing-

as I disrobe, many straps

cling to my body

he tires of his child

there are no flowers

Does motion blur photography give us, the spectator, a visual idea of a racer’s experience as s/he cycles to the finish line?
