De Jackson, aka WhimsyGizmo’s, d’Verse Quadrille prompt is Let there be light. Light is one of my favourite subjects to paint and photograph.

The prompt is as follows: Write a poem of exactly 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word light.

Disruption

Shafts of early morning light

Paint broad strokes across water

In shimmering, shining gold

Grey heron in search of breakfast

Creates lines of bright ripples

Disrupting mirror-like surface

Peaceful scene interrupted

By arrival of buffalo

who grunt and snort aggressively

while jostling for position

  9. A business persons mantra is “location ,location, location”.

    A photographers mantra is “light, light, light”!

    Many times I tell someone “just because you can take a picture, doesn’t mean you should”.

    You are recognizing when to take shots Robbie. I am always searching for the gold……golden light (sunset).

    You are training your eye to see what is there and what isn’t there.
