#poem
Untitled by Eli Belt

Open a pot of paint,
Add two pinches of flower petals,
Stir in toasted marshmallow memories,
Sip until you feel uncontrollable fits of laughter closely associated with jumping in piles of leaves.
Soak in the aromas and textures of autumn…

The whole poem is in photo.
A collage of 15 photos: red leaf tree, dawn just before sunrise with the silhouette of trees in 2 photos, a pile of colored leaves, the fiery fingers of orange, red, and purple sunset, white sheet ghosts dancing around in a circle, a pathway among the golden trees, two photos of water with leaves of gold, red, brown, orange floating in them, two dewy spiderwebs, an orange pumpkin spider climbing up a tree trunk, a yellow orange mushroom lying next to a red leaf with yellow veins, red leaf with yellow veins, a yellow tree in the woods. Argiope Aurantia with a tier of three faces piled on top of each other like Halloween masks clinging to a screen door, a tiny red mushroom with a white stem surrounded by leaves, an orange monarch butterfly with black stripes and white spots on a pile of leaves, a brown mushroom with only a cap sticking up out of the leaves and grass, a green katydid, a red dawn and silhouette of a tree, a crescent moon in a red and purple dawn sky, red and purple roped curtains of clouds at sunset, white towers of clouds in a blue sky, a community of yellow orange mushrooms, dewy spiderweb at dawn, yellow leafed tree, brown gilled mushroom, and two dewy spiderwebs. Untitled by Eli Belt Open a pot of paint, Add two pinches of flower petals, Stir in marshmallow toasted memories, Sip until you feel uncontrollable fits of laughter closely associated with jumping in piles of leaves. Soak in the aromas and textures of autumn, From the crunch of leaves to the moist Nirvana in each mouth watering bite of pumpkin spice bread to the foggy dew that covers spiderwebs and delight their artistic flair displays. This is the most perfect time of the year.

Morning has broken🎶🎵
Sparse silhouettes of bare trees and bushes, their leaves blown off from the previous high winds. Behind them is dawn in stripes of orange, red and purple mixed, pale blue and purple mixed, and repeat. Such beautiful colors before storms. Paler pink and purple gray clouds fill the sky in this photo. A paler image of the first dawn photo with stripes in yellow and orange, dark orange and purple, purple and pale blue, and purple and pink. And in the western view the forest of trees and bushes no longer in silhouette but more darker brown and above is a pale sky with pale pink and brownish gray clouds with sun rays.

The #EpsteinFile victims have no reason to feel shame. They did nothing wrong. It is the rich and powerful pedophiles who should feel the shame and it is they who should be revealed to the public. It takes more courage than most are capable of to come forward and tell your truth when you know…

I didn’t write this, I screeched in pale yellow chalk over and over. Smudged chalk dust on my hands, arms, and dress. On the wall next to the chalkboard was scotch taped my poem. Hot silent tears ran down my cheeks from the shame I felt. Judged incapable of producing quality…

Welcome to Black Friday, White Friday, Big Friday or whatever your local sale scape hell for folks in that industry. Time for some alliteration for #BirdOfTheDay to escape the retail chaos, in the form of a beautiful baby bluebird in the #MorningLight 🐦 🦉

Color photograph of a juvenile eastern bluebird perched on the end of a park bench, lit by the early morning sun. Fluffy and mottled feathers, with none of the blue or red of the adult birds, against a blurred backdrop

I often mention that adding alt text to images helps artists further their reach on here (as there are lots of users who won't repost without alt text)

but

the same is true for all images. Thinking today of publisher & author images for sales. Taking a few minutes to add alt text can help reach!

I hear birds
on the roof, their
feet a staccato,
a tap dance
finale
following the
#whirlwind happening
of the
starling #murmuration.
How fortunate
are we
the chosen few
whose eyes
are the temporary
canvas
of Nature’s
art movement.

Digital drawing in white ink against a black background of an abstract pattern made up of lots of small dashed lines. The overall effect is something like a maze or possibly a kind of 3D, raised embroidery.

Went in a bit of a different direction with this month's #BirdWhisperer... seemed like it was all about the eyes with this spotted owlet 🪶
Digital drawing of part of the face of a spotted owlet to emphasize the big, round yellow eyes and golden beak. The feathers around the beak and eyes are a light beige interspersed with a dark brown that echoes the brown background.

after hours spent raking leaves
oh, the yard was pristine
a job well done
yet, I knew it wouldn’t last
many leaves still on trees
Wind says, let me help
move things along
now the yard is covered
and the zen is broken
So the only thing to do
is go for a romp in the dunes
watch sun sparkles
Sun sparkles on the sound with Roanoke Island in the background
