Writing in the SKY

Writing in the SKYMellowYellowBadge Mellow Yellow Monday #42 / Mister Linkie Dude




climbing through sadness salt and sea


first moving slowly


goosebumps flair follicle and skin of naked arms


the warm breeze calms ... moons cool blanket crisp


clouds floating aloft bounce zealously


they dance on rippled waters with shadows storm


my mind is soothed with sunsets memory


orange oil paint splashed across horizon


telegraph the messages, vision light on my traveled road


beams of energy radiate


captivated hearts beat with jubilance


I look, I see, I find reiteratively



hold the hand that reaches


... and write in the sky

writing under the moon


writing under the moon ripple wavesmoonlight ripple twist canvas

I have never met her, yet she has touched my heart many times, and made me smile .....

Debo Hobo said...

I love it when the sun streams through the clouds :)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hi Debo ... ME TOO!

The last photo is one of my top 10 favs. It was incredible in person ;-)

Daisy said...

Very nice post, Speedy. Ripples and sunlight streams---cool to see. Your poetic side is showing again. :-)

Have a good weekend!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

hey Daisy!

To make the ripples, I just soaked the pichah in water :-)

Daisy said...

HA! I have a feeling that wouldn't work so well if I tried it.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

OR - spray monitor with windex

Daisy said...

Maybe I'll try dropping the camera in the bathtub!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

NOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daisy said...

HA! Yeah, I don't think that would work either.

How did you do it really? Is that a feature on Photobucket or somewhere?

It looks cool.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I have a photo program called photofiltre` ... it was a free download. It has quite a few great tools, lots of apps, and a spot blur tool that really does wonders for finishing touches

Speedcat Hollydale said...

ohh!

and cloning and blending tools

Daisy said...

Sounds fun. You did a great job with these.

Cloning?!! HA! That sounds like it could cause trouble. :-)

Daisy said...

Clones of Speedy seem to be everywhere now already!!! :D

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Cloning is great fun, but you have to cut yourself off before a photo turns into a hologram :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I know, to bad one cannot work for me whilst I golf, eat, and blog ALL day long.

Daisy said...

Oh dear! That would be scary to be a hologram shining in the air. HA HA HA!

If you figure out how to do that let me know! I would make clone Daisy go work at the library and buy groceries and clean the house and do laundry and do the yardwork while I do fun stuff instead. :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Speaking of cleaning and laundry .... ohhhh dear.

I am a "bit" behind with those. I wonder what color my carpet is? LOLOL

Daisy said...

HA! Mystery carpet! (smile)

Daisy said...

How do you like your new job by now? Are you glad you made the change?

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Well, I do not like my job, but right now "liking" a job is not much of a concern. Having one is tho!

Because things are different in my life, and because I moved, my monthly obligations have been slashed by thousands. That alone takes a great stress off of me, and makes work just that, a job. It's now possible to not ask for extra hours ... etc etc.

It is weird not being on a budget. A really GOOD weird (( smile ))

Daisy said...

Yes, anyone with a job right now is definitely one of the lucky ones. I'm glad it is going well for you. I've been wondering if you were glad you made the change or not. Glad to hear you have less stress. Nobody needs any extra of that.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I was so very happy to hear "your news" this week.

hug hug

Daisy said...

Thanks, Speedy. ME TOO! :)

Hugs right back at you.

Good to talk to you tonight. Hope you have a good weekend. :D

dawn said...

Your poetry is beautiful... and I am a big fan of Cold Play :)

Chris said...

Love that last pic!!! I saw a pink sunset the other day. I wished I could sit there and watch it until it was done. The sky always makes my problems seem small.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Chris, it is amazing how many people feel the same way. I can remember one of all time worst days ending with this incredible fire glowing sunset that just seemed to calm my nerves. I did a post about it years ago.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Thank you Dawn!

Writing seems to either fall out onto the keyboard, or just "not".


Ha haaaaaaaaa !!!! / best to post when you have a moment ;-)

Ferd said...

Great pix and a nice feel to the whole post!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hello Doctor Ferd!

... I was impressed with your writing post

Chris said...

I should really play nice and make a comment about sunsets and how amazing they are, BUT...

Instead I am thinking PAYBACK! So, better cover your EARS!!!!

BANG!!! CRASH! (Better check your FRIDGE!)

HEY!!! HEY HEY HEY HEY!!! Wake up! Were you sleeping? OH GOOD! WAKE UP!

hehehe

Chris said...

And now, back to my regularly scheduled program of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's.

Chris said...

That is, if I can get my ears to stop ringing. You are SO noisy!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I thought I heard some ruckus in my fridge ....


and 8 milks are missing!!


hmmmmmmmmmmmmm - I may have to pull a citizens arrest

Speedcat Hollydale said...

7 milk gallons

Alright, just a 200 dollar ticket this time. Please get the lost cat off my farm too

Chris said...

Ha! You must be hallucinating, b/c I took all NINE! I have NO idea what you are gonna use for coffee now!

And be nice to that poor lost cat! Farmville has her knitting hats for chihuahuas for some reason. She and her lonely friends NEED all that milk. I was SURE you wouldn't mind a little redistribution of your -er- milk.

TWO HUNDRED? And after those carrier chickens brought you all those Tim Tams, too! There is no gratitude left anymore.

Chris said...

Speedy, you are a FAKE LINKER.

And that's all I have to say.

BANG!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

NO COMPRENDAY

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Veo usted me ha acusado de una cadena mala, pero usted se olvidó que mi granja tiene un tractor muy grande suficiente grande para desbordar su granero

wendy said...

Loved the poem ... LOVED it loved it loved it.

Loved the photos and I feel the same way about those sun breaking through the clouds photos ... sunbeams ROCK! I remember taking some people to the beach with me and T-boy and on the way home one of the children said: Look! God's face is in the clouds!

Spectacular skies are ALL that and a bag of hips. Rose hips. Another marvel of nature.

Love love love!

Wendy

wendy said...

What am I doing? I am getting those rooms ready for tenants. boring boring boring but maybe it will bring in tenants?

I hope so.
