An Eye for Beauty

photoplay made naked
having glanced at (accomplished) photo artists
    i hesitate
            to display my digital efforts
and be exposed the…………….amateur.
    like stripping for a stranger
inviting others to view my images, my heart,
is laced with uncertainty & risk…a thrill,
a new unwrapping of this artist’s
                                                  self.
good writing means eliminating
debris
until words embrace the reader
and thrill my soul.
photography: spirit dance
finding beauty amid
commonplace.
digital, I understand, but
baffled by film
                 and darkrooms
                                and odd smells.

this world needs a one-eyed artist
so I applied and got
the job.
 
If EmilyDickenson.com had seen her therapist
the world would have lost
                      singular & inspired view.

What the hell? it sounds like fun!
