Shadow Steps
Shadow walking
On the way back from a spot of sketching this evening I was walking along the road and observing the long shadows that my figure in the light of the evening sun was casting across the road. I soaked in that moment and took the time to observe the sounds and smells of the warm summers evening, I wrote down on the back of my sketch pad the words below as I walked.
A hot sweet smell
of the earth and grasses
travels on a mellow breeze
as the nape of my neck is bathed
in the evening sun
A layered chorus of bird songs
Play with the melody of crickets
As the wind chimes through the leaves
Long shadows walk
like giants
Their strides
stretching out
along lines of grey
Nice!
The poetry is a perfect match for your imagery. Thanks for sharing.
Wow you have long legs lol, Lovely poem :)
I wish they were that long!
Would get you around a lot quicker :)
Maybe I need to invest in a pair or stilts!
I used to love playing with stilts :)
Cool, I love it, are you so tall? :)
Great post 👍I'm really like it 😀
Haha, no I'm not that tall!
haha... very creative, love it
If there is time, please visit my blog, I will be very happy 😁
So what was your inspiration for this? Did you take the pictures and then write the poem, or vice versa? What led to the other?
I'm curious : )
I made them both at the same time, I'd just finished sketching the tree in my previous post. As I walked home i noticed the shadows, I took the photographs as I walked and wrote down the words on my sketchpad- you can see it in my hand in some of the pictures.
Thats so cool! What a neat little fit of inspiration : )
... me and the tree and the shade - loved it! creative inspiration!!
