sketching poetry
go for subtle profuse lines
a full bodied version
Daily prompt: Profuse.
blicken frös
i det saltstänkta
motivet
den välkände mannen
i en okänd kvinnans
armar
hon kisar mot solen
med smala
soltorra
läppar
Skrivpuff: Smala, soltorra läppar.
en djup suck
följt av många fler – värst
vad tråkigt
Ja så kändes det precis – från och med den andra delen – och hela vägen mot slutet. Det var en speciell dansföreställning. En speciell koreograf. Fast – är inte alla koreografer speciella? Jag tror de vill vara det – i alla fall. Alla konstnärer vill nog vara speciella. Fast – kanske inte Lars Lerin. Han kryper omkring inne i sig själv på ett så underbart öppet sätt.
Jag vill också vara speciell!
Inte tråkig i alla fall.
Skrivpuff: Tråkigt.
We are lucky to have the sun. When the sky is blue and the sun is shining I am as most positive. No heavy burdens on my shoulders. Feet flow easy around.
The sun will go down
behind the small grains of grass.The sun will have a bath
in the speed of universe.The sun will grasp and roar
with all it’s heat.And with furious tongues of flames
burn the grass
next day –
the end.
Slut.
Skrivpuff: Positiv.
Skrivpuff: Slut.

I just made a picture. Or the Picture wanted to be made by me. So it is! I use to listen when pictures want to be painted. Sometimes with pens, crayons and pencils I – myself – don’t like very much. I listen and do it anyway.
When Picture was made I gave it a name. That I am allowed to do actually. Picture got the name ”Locker”. And for a while – when studying the Picture – I wondered:
-What is it you want to tell me?
Then I said:
-Why are you so right on the point (almost) always!?
open minded
though the locker is closed – but not
for flowers
I saved and went to my emailbox. Now I find that one of my favorit haiku writers had made a beautiful poem about locked. My picture is named ”Locker”.
I think …
-the open window with the flattering curtain – to the right – is the ”open minded”
-the locker keeps ”something very important” safe
-”but not – for flowers” is so enormous interesting so I have to go on thinking about this
What could it mean?
Trying to catch that special mood …
in the moonlight
with cane and faltering steps
cherry blossoms
… for writing poetry …
wondering
around in my own steps
or somebody else’s
… while listening to music …
sårade hjärtan
och flydda själar
byter plats
hurt hearts
and away fled souls
change places
… lots of lost hearts and lost souls in our world … to many indeed …
… with a war going on … mothers, fathers and children are losing their homes and many – far too many – their lives …
neither hurt hearts
should walk soldiers shoes
nor away fled souls
or soldiers
some tomorrow
Now I just have to choose one of the most beautiful songs about – NOT WAR.
Lars Winnerbäck sang when Dalai Lama visited Sweden 2011 and His Holiness personally thanked LW.
I will work more with the translation in English because it’s much more poetic in Swedish. But hopefully it gives an idea about the content.
| Ingen Soldat av Lars Winnerbäck 2009 Lyrics; Himlen faller ner, Jag är ingen soldat, Jag har härjat krig i huset, Jag har aldrig stått vid fronten jag är ingen soldat, I rispan från min vrede, Jag är ingen soldat, jag är ingen soldat, |
Ingen Soldat av Lars Winnerbäck 2009 Lyrics; The sky is falling down, I’m not a soldier, I have ravaged war in the house, I have never been at the front I’m not a soldier, In the scratch of my wrath, I’m not a soldier, I’m not a soldier, |
Skrivpuff: Ärligt talat.
Skyller på julen att det blir lite märkliga inlägg – ärligt talat 😉
