I am so brittle

I am so brittle I could crack
and fall in pieces at your feet.
Sweep me off into the corner -
all I want to do is sleep.

I am so hollow I could melt
into a smaller puddle than
you might expect to see.
No need to step on me -
I only want to sleep.

Is there a code I have to crack,
is there a solid I should melt?
Give me the key and raise the heat -
let me sleep!

Face a poem

Winter BluesI went down to the orchard
and I shook the apple tree.
I went down to the orchard
and I shook the apple tree.
But it was the dead of winter,
no fruit came down for me.

I remember when the winter
would come and it would go.
I remember when the winter
would come and it would go.
But it hangs around my house now,
like it does not have a home.

No bare feet in the daytime,
no kind word on the street.
No bare feet in the daytime,
no kind word on the street.
I exchange those chilly glances
with everyone I meet.

Could I even face the springtime
if it should come one day?
Could I even face the springtime

so am I responsible for the words?

or for the wordlessness, it is up to you!

I'm feeling that figure doing "stop! in the name of love...."

*RichardLeach Feb 22, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Definitely! Gosh, that just started playing in my head like crazy.

Ha!

This is my second viewing of this collage. It didn't grab me the first time around, but it does now. Interesting how that happens. I love the overall composition and the colors, of course. The balls of yarn, or whatever they are, really pull the image together with their deep browns and faint bluish cast. Great overall sense of balance, too.

But it's the figure in the corner that is the magnet for me. Flood of memories: [link] [link] [link] . Perhaps a futile attempt to hold back the march of time, which will eventually force the character off the page.

Idle ramblings...but I'm glad I had a second look.

Thanks for looking again, Vic. It's always a question with collage, when to stop and when to go on. Clearly this one could have held more elements, and I kept looking at it thinking "Is this really where it stops?" And it felt like it was.

Great associations with the little figure - I just had to go and play "I Got a Line on You" at youtube - always loved that song!
