Murals of Costumes

Multi-styled costumes
Quaint and quirky and plain weird
Worth a smile or two

Jeques said...: Very interesting murals, captured in very interesting ways, in an ordinary fashion yet curious angles of the lenses, in some witty take with words transfusing blood to the images giving the lifeless murals throbbing pulse coming alive like flower buds popping in the morning seeing the sunlight.

And then they become real characters given the right script with your poetry and the right light with your photography.

Gemma, I think you haven't read a poem I wrote in sestina, you might want this poetry form for your next poetry, or have you written one already? I'm attending summer poetry workshop and sestina was our subject last week. This week is Tanka, which you've read.

Please click link for the sestrina:

I wish you well.
