Simple Sunday Picture Challenge Gets Resurrected With Guest Artist (?)
Happy Easter or whatever meaning you place on this day may be!
Scotorum here: This week we have a mystery guest artist. Well it’s not exactly art per se. But as a connoisseur of antique photography since the 1970s, I have learned that since the olden days of photography, meaning the 1840s, photography was considered an art by its practicioners. In fact many called themselves “photographic artists,” and among the earliest promoters of photography were numerous artists!
Although some artists felt threatened by the new medium because its arrival meant that portrait painting had lost its monopoly on reproducing images of real life, others hailed it as the ultimate art for recording reality and offering infinite opportunities for rendering personal impressions, priorities and even emotions in new ways.
So that’s the big buildup for this week’s “art.” It is actually a cell phone image, so it is early 21st century “art!”
Now our challenge this week is not just to write a poem to the image. But imagine this Easter scenario if you will: you are dead. Suddenly you are resurrected. This is the first thing you see. What is it?
I want to assure you gentle reader and poet, that I am in no way disrespecting Easter. Just borrowing the concept so crucial to the meaning of this day to Christians to posit: what if you were in Jesus’ shoes and it was Easter 2012? You can be you, or him, or whatever.
I hope this stirs your muse, and that if you have time on this busy day to wax creative, that you find it worthwhile. Remember the CPC slogan: be creative, and have fun!
Photagraphy is another of the many mediums I love . Thanks Bob for takin care of me . You are the best !!!
What Happen to me
Everything so Bubbly
People Standing statically
All not even noticing I see
What Happen to me
This person that was
Can I move about because
Will I be a ghost
A evil host
Or Meet Peter at the Gate
Help People with their hate
What Happen to me
My soul all Bubbly
In life this was me
Yeah now I see
This is how
Heaven is.. my eternity
Bubbly………….
Who is this?

Welcome to the Simple Sunday Picture Challenge! We’re hoping to breathe new life into your muse today with a theme of the miracle of rebirth and an image which begs for interpretation.
Our favorite hardworking and regular SS host Darrell spent yesterday painting his house and today has Easter cooking duties, so I’m filling in. Enjoy this challenge!

THE LIGHT
~^~
Glory be hold
What do I see here
Flashin lights
Bubbles
It would seem
Very colorful
So bright
Every thing
Is just a blur
I rub my eyes
To see better
Is that an angel
Comin for me
The shadows so up clear
Music in the back ground
So sweet to the ears
A melody
Of sweet refrain
Seems I have
Heard this sound
Some where
I know the sound
Heavens
For bid
That I have died
And gone
To hell
No
Surely not
The sound to sweet
Lights to bright
Glory be hold
I think
That I see
The light getting
Much brighter
White even
Hell
Can not be
This bgight
And if is
Why am I
So clam with this light
That I do fell upon my face
I am the light
I am the way
Come unto me
This I thought that I heard
Glory be hold
Have I died
And gone to heaven
Lord I hope so
For
Satan
Was me friend
Way back then but
But now I am ready to go home
For I have live on the earth
I have been to hell and back
It would seem
Now home
Home sweet home
Is just where
I wanna be

PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO IT IS IMPORTANT!!! xoxoxo
IN DUE TIME
Fleeting,
ephemeral,
where the beginning
ends
and the end
begins,
hazy and blurred,
moments flowing into
and out of
what comes next,
random pieces
of life,
disconnected,
half remembered,
mostly forgotten,
and life continues . . . .
And on those days
when all things
seem a blur
and the lines overlap
and distort,
I know that
when the time is right
light overcomes dark,
and all things
become clear
once again . . . .
in due time.
