  • Redhead

    A photo taken at the park this past weekend.  It was an unexpected shot.  I wish I had a dozen or more but this is it.  The color is as it was shot, no editing other than cropping to remove parked cars etc.

    Little Redhead,
    You walked right into the corner of my photographic eye,
    Reluctant, as any child might be on leaving a day at the park.
    You are probably tired, maybe a little grumpy, definitely moody,
    Scraping the gravels as you walk 
    The toes of your shoes scuffing your announced leaving.

    But, none of this is conveyed in the photograph,
    Only your coral radiations captured,
    And it’s enough.

    Bright little flower,
    You are as much a part of the landscape as if
    You were planted, painted, dropped deliberately
    Into the view.
    Like a ray of unexpected sun light,
    Captivating color,
    You are a thrilling, unexpected, emotional glow.


     

    I love a redhead.  Dogs, cats, children, Elmo, they all count.

  • Lovely ! Her hair is a wonderful colour isn’t it ? I wonder why redheads get skitted about their hair, I think it is glorious. Beautiful poem. Marie

    it was a magical time out in the country then.

    I read your remark about the blogring Platinum that you lead . This had not taken my attention . But I have just joined . I hope I used the good way to join .
     I agree with you , the kitchen is the heart of the house . And in the past the kitchen was a large room to live in with all the family .

  • nice poem to go with a great capture…

  • Thought of our strawberry blond  granddaughter when I saw this photo.   The fire of red heads burns in the heart of a person, at least most of us persons.   The picture is wonderful and the poem lovely,  thanks for putting it up.
