On this somewhat dark screen there is only the faintest hint of structure visible, but not enough to get an idea what I am looking at. I'll take another look when I get home. I am intrigued.

Kathryn: I wonder if it was any lighter when you looked from home. Probably not.

This photo is a little dark for me! Not sure what I am looking at!

Kathryn: This photo is a little dark for me!
This photo is a little dark for us all!
,
Not sure what I am looking at!
What do you do when you are not sure what you are looking at!

Whoa. That's minimalist!

Kathryn: Whoa.
Whoa Nelly
.
That's minimalist!
That's from a minimalistic minimalist!

I'm a child
I’m a child of my imagination
Playing the game
Playing the game of empty
Using the space
Using the space between us
Between the lines
Between the lines that connect us
In a hopeless attempt
To find you

Kathryn: I'm a child
I’m a child of my imagination
I’m a woman with an imagination
.
Playing the game
Playing the game of empty
Playing this game
.
Using the space
Using the space between us
Using the silence between us
.
Between the lines
Between the lines that connect us
Between the words that connect us
.
In an attempt
In a hopeless attempt
In a hopeful attempt
.
To find you
To find you
To understand you

If I were a child
I would leave the street
I would leave all dark and grey
I would fly away
far far away away
into my garden
with the sprouting green,
greengreengreengreen
and I'm resting there
in the midst of all the green
and over me
a little bee
and the blueblue sky,
oh my!

Kathryn: I were a child
If we were children
.
I would leave the street
I would leave the street with you
.
I would leave all dark and grey
And wisk you away from the dark and gray
.
Away from the dark and grey
Away from all dark and grey
.
I would fly away
We’d fly away
.

far far away away
not so very far away
.
into my garden
into your garden
.
with the sprouting green,
with the sprouting green and more green
.
greengreengreengreen
greengreengreengreen and more green
.
and I'm resting there
and we’re resting there
.
in the midst of all the green
in the midst of all the green and more green
.
and over me
and over us
.
a little bee
and a little bird
.
and the blueblue sky,
singing in the blueblue sky
.
oh my!
yes oh my!

Oh if I were a child
I would imagine wild
But would see true
Not just imagining you

Now that I am older
Acting onstage for a beholder
I'm missing my child
Who could imagine so wild

Kathryn: Oh if I were a child
Oh if you were an adult
.
I would imagine wild
You would image true
.
But would see true
But would see wild
.
Not just imagining you
Just imaging me
.

Now that I am older
Now that you are younger
.
Acting onstage for a beholder
The world is your stage
.
I'm missing my child
He is there, he is you.
.
Who could imagine so wild
Who does imagine so wild
.

On a different slant:

Will there be light at the end of this road?
No that is totally wrong.
There will be light at the end of this road.

Kathryn: On a different slant:

On the same incline:

.
Will there be light at the end of this road?
Will there be darkness at the beginning of this road?
.
No that is totally wrong.
Yes that is totally right.
.
There will be light at the end of this road.
There will be darkness at the beginning of this road.

If I were a child I would play at jumping from line to line and see where they would lead me. What am I talking about - I am a child inside!
Ingrid

Kathryn: If I were a child
Because you are a child
,
I would play
You'd wear red shoes while you play
.
at jumping from line to line
at jumping from line to line, careful not to fall in to the darkness
.
and see where they would lead me.
and go wherever they lead you
.
What am I talking about -
What are you talking about -
.
I am a child inside! Ingrid
You are a child, Ingrid!

If these are the lines down the middle of the road, I'm afraid i'm going to veer off over the verge.

Kathryn: If these are the lines
If there are circles
.
down the middle of the road,
in the middle of my life,
.
I'm afraid
I'm very afraid
.
i'm going to veer
I'm not going to veer
.
off over the verge.
off over the verge

"Twas the night before Christmas..."
...and all along the road
no creature was creeping
not even a Toad...
..take that "...dash away, dash away...dash away...."

Just finished reading that book to the Boy, before he fell asleep...my head is full of dashes...

Kathryn: "Twas the night before Christmas..."
"Twas the morning after Christmas..."
.
...and all along the road
...and all over the road
.
no creature was creeping
were hordes of creatures creeping
.
not even a Toad...
but not a single Toad...
.
..take that
...take that
.
"...dash away, dash away...dash away...."
"...squash, squash, squash, squash...."

Just finished reading that book to the Boy,
Just finished reading this poem from you
.
before he fell asleep...
when I work up...
.
my head is full of dashes...
my head is full of squashed Toads...
.

So minimalist, but so powerful Kathryn!

Kathryn: So minimalist,
So maximalist,
,
but so powerful Kathryn!
yes Kathryn is so powerful!

It's five gray/grey lines that make me want to join them together.

Kathryn: It's five gray/grey lines
It's five gray/gray spaces

that make me want
that makes me want

to join them together
to pull them apart

with the image Kathryn
with imagination, Tim.

This morning I looked at your blog on my work monitor and it was just one black square. This evening at home I had to take another look and voila I see the broken line on a road. I now understand why you are doing the knit one, slip one rhyming at which you are very good

When going on holiday we always travel quite some distances by road. I remember how as a child while everyone but dad were sleeping, I could sit for long times just watching the broken line slipping by. On, off, on, off. I guess as long as I saw the line flickering by, it was also a sign of everything still on a good line.

Kathryn: Louis,

I knew there was more than one person who needed to calibrate their monitor.

I did the same as a child and even now as an adult. You are right, it is an assurance that all is well as long as the line keeps flickering by.

I love it that you, at times, have been poetic on my blog and I am happy to have been the one to have inspired your poetic musings. I've always loved to write and since joining SC have written more than ever. I am also tickled pink because I am taking a drawing/painting class now. Nice how we encourage each other's creativity.

Thoughtful...

And the use of negative space is well done...

Your images are very intriguing.. all very subtle and very simple. I thought at first this was a black cat ina coal cellar!

Some very effective!

Very nice, just the way I like it

Sometimes less is more...and this time you found me...
