Writer's Island prompt ~ Impulse

Icy winter winds
Prowl and howl
In the darkness
Outside
And the new digital
Camera
Lies beside me
On the table
Hoping tomorrow may shed
Just a little sunshine
For rambling
Secret corners
Of inspiration
~
But the spirit
Is longing for the moment
Now
~
A tiny gnome
Too precious for lonely gardens
Smiles nearby ~
But not for long ~
The spark
Is happening
~
In a new context
Of an aging sideboard
Mellow with etched shapes
Of cloudy faces ~
While silver rain
Tumbles in
In the misty night ~
She lingers
In a world
Brushed
In the mystical
Blue
Inverted
Light of
Impulse
~
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

Hi Gemma
This seems so personal.so autobiographical.
Hope you are not experincing any bad weather .
I can so well understand the need for good light to take pictures .
so often I have stepped out to realise that the light is not right to take pictures of !
And how beautifully you have payed upon "blue impulse " .
Lovely words for lovely thoughts Gemma :)
A flash of light to reveal a momentary glimpse, and desire is fed.
Ah..the frustration and beauty of photographing go hand in hand..
celebration
