The Little Things: Compilation 07/20/2022

Like a fractal deposit along the creek bed
an astounding accomplishment poignantly said
Sunset in a cup, so light and refreshing
Keeping all your close friends silently guessing
where have you been and where are you going
You’ll slip out the back with nobody knowing
The sound of a tin cup rattling with change
Time suddenly frozen, no need to arrange
A shipment sent back from an unlisted number
your hot mind relaxes and then you may slumber.

Simply 6 Minutes – Trompe-l’oeil

Jezzie G

Inspired by and written for Simply 6 Minutes – thank you, Christine

Wow, I love art that plays the eye, and this pic did that beautifully. But a little love song, or sonnet -is that even possible? Here goes

https://www.beautifullife.info/urban-design/optical-illusion-3d-murals-by-italian-artist-peeta/

Trompe-l’oeil
Form: Alternating Sonnet 2
Theme: Love

Vision of beauty too good to be true
And I wonder did I really see you
Or were you another trick of the light
For the eyes cannot be trusted to see
What lies hidden behind a smiling face
When the bliss of love has fallen from grace
What remains for our love’s reality
The skin deep beauty now shallow and thin
It’s faded and worn revealing what’s true
This was a game you play and always win
But it is too late and too late for me
For my life is lost to this time and place
And you covered your tracks…

Simply Six Minutes

The Bag Lady

***

Illusion shown to her as he tried to impress

Seeing an ordinary building so dressed

He worked at his vision, difficult but true

Fixing a vision he had in white and blue

She had admired his work she had seen on walks

His increasing talent with never a balk

She discovered him as she sidestepped a pool

Painted so real, then realized she was a fool

He had been standing at the side of the street

Watching as people suddenly stopped their feet

Thinking the cement had actually opened wide

Seeing the illusion of a pool in their stride

He had hopes for his proposal showing her his latest

Achieving the blue bows seemed to be his greatest.

***

Time’s up ☺️

The Sound of One Hand Typing

I din’t know about you, but this would drive me crazy if I lived across the street and I had to look at it. I’d be trying to figure out how he did it, which would sort of ruin the whole thing because if everyone could do this, it wouldn’t be special. Kind of like seeing a magic act where you knew how all the tricks were done. Or watching a movie with someone that had seen it a hundred times and who knew when all the funny parts were coming up, and would sit and tell you what was going to happen next. I won’t tell the story, but suffice it to say I won’t be watching Planes, Trains, And Automobiles anytime soon.

Can you imagine what a Homeowners’ Association would say about something like this? I don’t live where there’s an HOA, thank heaven. I’d spend half…
