Sunday Muse -- a "Man's Endeavor" poem

[photography by Artist, Jasper James]

A New Horizon 

A match 

we might say a mate 

is coming 

Coming to 

pair with the 

poor old man 

Man a million years old 

Trampled by man 

and beast 

weather elements 

hot and cold 

Natives tourists 

and other trespassers 

Damage 

one can only imagine

Old Man of the Mountain 

a.k.a. 

Great Stone Face 

hold your breath,  

artists and engineers 

working modern day 

Miracles 

                [My photo, a TV shot of CBS this morning Saturday]

Discards, 

had become old and unsafe 

Old buildings

some skyscrapers 

Put to rest 

in, now for, this 

artist's dreams 

The tired and weak 

stacked side by side 

Safe on this mountain 

Close but not too close 

next to the "Old Man" 

A New Horizon

Weekly Scribblings -- what is seen?

its mine 

It's mine the little one hollered 

My rich uncle gave it to me

For me to have all for myself 

These words he said to me to you 

Haha haha I've got it now 

Play in the dirt the sand is mine 

All mine to have go find your own 

 - - - 

arrogance learned; aged, carries on  

The fields are mine better than yours 

The trees the lands the factories too 

All toys for boys not sissie girls 

My skin is light that gives me rights 

Harvard I've been I have you've not  

Money for me go earn your own 

Your houses burned leave mine alone

 - Rosemary has invited us to "create poetry or prose using Rob Kistner’s phrase “Human arrogance is boiling over” as inspiration. We aren’t required to use the actual words. But if we do, we should credit them to Rob on a footnote." 

 - I am using a Sevenling poem form which seemed to work for this writing (about the Sevenling poem form).

Shadow Shots -- Our neighbor's goodie

HAPPY JULY 4th DAY !!!

[Photos courtesy of Channel 2 TV Houston, Weather]

Surfside is a small town, west of Galveston (TX) about 60 miles and about 60 miles south of our house.  

Galveston beaches have parking lots but at Surfside the beach is undeveloped and goes for miles.  It is our favorite for beach retreats as we can camp from our car.  Galveston is a fun town and we go there if we wish to play more than just swimming and sunning.

MY SHADOW SHOT 

This is my neighbor's car, a 2014 McClaren MP4-12C.  I haven't ridden in it YET.  Top speed is supposed be 207 mph but he has only had it up to 150 "briefly".
