Imagination was the favorite toy of my childhood. Luckily I've held on to it and use it still- not kept it safely on a shelf. Beautiful poem - Good to see you on the bus this morning!
i was a (good) bit less obvious than i could have been but i wanted to try and catch some of that child perspective magic. if you're interested all the sources are here http://www.orkneyjar.com/
i was sure there was some hidden story to these brilliant images, ah Orkney, even the name is fascinating! i am with Totalfeckineejit here, that is my favourite line as well...
Drifting, drifting...that's the way it looks on the edges of our civilisation. A drifting, a searching, beyond all the known grounds for an other ground.
from Travels in the Drifting Dawn by Kenneth White
As he travels through the great human desert, this man, this lonely figure endowed with active imagination, has, you may be sure, a higher aim, a more general aim, than that of a mere strolling reporter.
Baudelaire
tutto, in natura, ha una essenza lirica, un destino tragico, una esistenza comica.

Wonderful.A complete box of (dark) chocolates. But if you could only choose one.....'wore a coat of rain and in that light
stood on a rainbow bridge'
Now that is poetry.
Pure imagination ... may we all be lucky enough to hang on.
thank you all, glad you liked it.
Ah the colourful building blocks of childhood. The subject matter here is absolutely fascinating. I'm still trying to decipher
I prefer your land...
a place of ruins whose pillared ribs
hid the bones of murdered saints
and the beach led down to the sailors’ graves
This one calls for re-reading. Very, very interesting!
