Where Broadway
Meets fifth
In triangular happenstance,
Stands a Beaux-Arts building
That Flat-Ironed
A vertical Palazzo
Into a steel framed
Renaissance.

City Space

Up and high
They pierce the sky.
Clothing floor
By floor
With glass,
They climb
Through city space
En masse.
In large cranes
O’er river,
Rails and roads,
They build Manhattan
Load
By load.

Farther
Photo: Chagit Moriah-Gibor
Stretch above
To where the flapping
Propels you farther
On the breeze.
From there to see
The light retreating
Over Earth’s curve
At day’s reprieve.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo challenge: In the distance

Beyond Scale
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
There’s little possible
Perspective
For how to scale
The size of feet
That for so many
Will not fit
In anyone’s shoes
Ever
Not before
Not since.
Trivia note: The photo above is a detail of the Reclining Buddha in Wat Pho Temple in Bangkok, Thailand (also known as “Temple of the Reclining Buddha” or Wat Phra Chetuphon). The giant Buddha measures 46 meters (over 150 feet) long, 15 meters (almost 50 feet) high, and is covered in gold leaf. The soles of the feet (depicted in the photo above) and the eyes are intricately carved with mother of pearl. The soles of the feet inscribe the 108 holy characteristics of the true Buddha, in both Chinese and Indian styles. The 20 acres of the temple complex also contains over a 1000 Buddha images, many tracing back centuries.

Harp’s Heart
Photo: Amitai Asif
Off they go
With the harp
And the sounds
In their hearts.
Off they go
To work hard
And music’s soul
To impart.

Out Of Shape?

If you are
Out of shape
Worry none
Worry naught,
For a log’s now
A bench
Where a rest can be
Sought.

Unadorned Underground
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
In the depths
Where the colors all bleach
To the basics
Of power,
Persistence,
And life;
Lives the unadorned
Underground
Of deep water
Carving canyons
With time’s old
Stubborn knife.

Next Level Parking
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
In the city where stairways
And buildings rise high
No surprise that car parks
Also aim for the sky …
Be aware it will take
Some time to dislodge
So it could be a tad tricky
To race out of Dodge…
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: engines and motors

Boulder Holder

Wrapping tentative fingers
That become tangled vines
Jungle trees tell the boulder:
“You’re my rock, you are mine.”

Warmer Together
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Come and play
In the snowdrifts
And the cold
Will not bite
We are warmer
Together
And will sleep well
Tonight.
Note: No filter was used. This is the original photo of the colors that day.
