And your words,
"i circle...i love this poem.<br /><br />And your words, <br />"i circled back", in your description <br />just leaps out at me.<br />There have been times i have circled back...<br />to see a baby's face, for instance.<br /><br />i just wrote "i circled back" on a 3" by 5".<br />Captured words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-57203526479176010012011-12-29T09:19:51.594-06:002011-12-29T09:19:51.594-06:00I'd be in trouble.

Perhaps you'll have to learn to sketch, Glynn... wait a minute, you already do that with you words.Valerie Kamikubohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864824409136614469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-90003138261175683492011-12-29T07:49:32.891-06:002011-12-29T07:49:32.891-06:00See?.... this is how your brain begins such wonder...See?.... this is how your brain begins such wonderful stories within stories, within a much larger story.

It's fun to see what ends up on paper.<br /><br />I notice so many times in museums people spend more time reading wall text than looking, although now they tend to use their cell phones for info. There's no substitute for the looking; it's what trains the eye.<br /><br />I like that your poem is about the guard being sketched. Many of these staff have MFAs and know quite a bit about the art on the walls. It would be interesting to know if the guard is an artist, too.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-62645054744188063732011-12-29T07:09:54.258-06:002011-12-29T07:09:54.258-06:00I love that you witnessed the watching of an artis...I love that you witnessed the watching of an artist watching.<br /><br />Very cool.Louise Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522775693728655487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-89460750788140175232011-12-29T05:58:00.861-06:002011-12-29T05:58:00.861-06:00When all are fully focussed on what sits straight ...When all are fully focussed on what sits straight ahead, it is often worth checking if we have missed the human drama all around us..JofIndiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091187070268922483noreply@blogger.com
