French scenes ~~ a Poem for "Artistic Interpretation "

 
Artistic Interpretation
 
Blue Ridge Mountains reminds one of
Best of master's--elements there
 
Mountains in the background, looming
Mont Sainte Victoire, Provence love
 
Trees in the foreground standing guard
European Cypress trees, tall
 
What artists come to mind for you
A small hint, two loved abstraction
 
Renowned American artist
And the other was very French
_ _ _ _ _ 

This is the very French:

If you like art then go to Europe. We found this Cézanne original in the Lautrec Museum in Albi, France. It is by Paul Cézanne (1839 to 1906) and yes, he was pretty quirky. (Cézanne Wikipedia link)

Tuesday Platform Poem ~~ Buy Low


Buy low

Fortune said to me
buy low and sell high
That's where the money
is, days of towers
 
Or marry one. rich
She'll roll you till death
or He'll set you free
Free from debt till death
 
Towers' wild life ends
Marriages over
At death do you part 
with your worldly goods
 
Death, cookie's crumbled
Then paper's not worth
its ink.  Promises
never fulfilled, schluss**

    Impish Elusive Nothings
    a wordless little poem

    Words eluded me today
    for that I will simply write
    tomorrow or yesterday.

    Meter here abandon care
    a bit of nonsense today
    without those words nothing's here.

    Rhyme it surely I can do
    missing words not a problem
    I do this lark just for you.

    NaPoWriMo 2017, Day 30, a Poem, Particle-wave dualism?





    College physics
     
    College physics was old fashioned,
    Waves were not particles back then
    Electricity was DC
    or AC.  And magnetism
     
    Dropped the course before it was reached
    Finding the charge on a plate, huh?
    But it is possible that math
    likes to treat waves that way
     
    The math works but you'll never
    Even one electron from the
    radio wave coming at you
    Don't let them tell you otherwise
     
    Radio waves particles not
    They will go through a pane of glass
    But never a copper bucket
    Magnetism particles not 
     
    Industry today demands, more
    than ever, a man with a good
    mathematical foundation 
    Ladies on magazine covers **

    Notes:
    1)  Photos are "Print Screen" captures of pages from Popular Electronics, January, 1957 ( http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Poptronics/50s/57/Pop-1957-01.pdf ).  Makes it 60 years ago.
    2) ** Please note the top pictures.  Left, Popular Electronics had a lady on most every cover.  And right, is the ad from Canadian Institute of Science and Technology Limited in Washington, D.C.
    3)  I have been an Amateur Radio Operator, i.e. a Ham Radio person, since 1960  In 1961 I was issued the call sign, K1TLT, but had to give it up when I moved to Texas.  Later I was able to retrieve my old call sign, K1TLT.  My license is Amateur Radio Extra Class, the highest skill level issued by the FCC.
