obsessable ...

to all my friends who wonder where i've been,
it's work that's kept me from this flickr stream,
obsessing on the site you'll find herein,
so take a peek to see my latest dream ... <3<3<3

of course i had to write a quatrain to celebrate the 'soft launch' of our new pride and joy over at crowd fusion -- obsessable -- a site for everyone who uses personal electronics. thanks for indulging me here! xoxoxox

clay shirky twittered about wordle.com this morning and so i thought i'd give it a try.

i used: straighter edges, horizontal, 'lucida sans', and the 'heat' color palette ... i think i like it ...

i know the butterfly ...

"... THE BEE is not afraid of me,
I know the butterfly;
The pretty people in the woods
Receive me cordially.

The brooks laugh louder when I come,
The breezes madder play.
Wherefore, mine eyes, thy silver mists?
Wherefore, O summer’s day? ..."
 
Emily Dickinson

cabbage white butterfly ...
Originally uploaded by jude

"... THE BUTTERFLY obtains
But little sympathy,
Though favorably mentioned
In Entomology.
Because he travels freely
And wears a proper coat,
The circumspect are certain
That he is dissolute.
Had he the homely scutcheon of modest Industry,
’T were fitter certifying for Immortality ..."

yesterday i stepped into the garden to catch what turned out to be a nanosecond of repose for this cabbage white butterfly that was flitting about the liatris ... happy weekend, dear friends ... xo

buccaneers of buzz ...
Originally uploaded by jude

"... Bees are Black, with Gilt Surcingles --
Buccaneers of Buzz.
Ride abroad in ostentation
And subsist on Fuzz.

Fuzz ordained -- not Fuzz contingent --
Marrows of the Hill.
Jugs -- a Universe's fracture
Could not jar or spill ..."
 
Emily Dickinson

i guess certain bloggers would be considered 'buccaneers of buzz' too, eh? /smile

dame's rocket ...
Originally uploaded by jude

"... I cannot meet the Spring unmoved --
I feel the old desire --
A Hurry with a lingering, mixed,
A Warrant to be fair --

A Competition in my sense
With something hid in Her --
And as she vanishes, Remorse
I saw no more of Her ..."

and posed in blue bokeh, that's oh so rare ... xo

Originally uploaded by jude

this yellow headed blackbird shared a wish,
and jumped onto this branch with a fine swish,
"oh happy birthday lucy," she did sing,
"for all the happy 'bird' days that you bring" ... xo

"... the inundation of the spring
submerges every soul,
it sweeps the tenement away
but leaves the water whole.
in which the soul, at first alarmed,
seeks furtive for its shore,
but acclimated, gropes no more
for that peninsular ..."
