Too often it seems that words and images are placed against one anther. The gift of a meme, when hopefully done well, is that the word and the visual serve to complement and enhance one another in a way that either one or the other – on their own – is unable to fully convey meaning. I hope, therefore, that these mash-ups of #MicroPoetry and their original accompanying image amplify meaning that one or the other could not fully convey!
I really found these to be something that awoke my mind and soul with such deep understanding in a wonderful beautiful message in each one. Thank you for these Richard. I am some happy after reading them.
thanks for that kind affirmation James! I find the process of 140 characters as a an invitation to the poetic both challenging and richly rewarding. Sort of our 21st century haiku maybe 😉
