once i spoke the language of the flowers,
once i understood each word the caterpillar said,
once i smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
and shared a conversation with the housefly
in my bed.
once i heard and answered all the questions
of the crickets,
and joined the crying of each falling dying
flake of snow,
once i spoke the language of the flowers. . . .
how did it go?
how did it go?

Molly,
ReplyDeleteI just got in the door and read your comment on my blog..oh thank you, plan on seeing me around here because I just got my real camera last Christmas and I am still figuring it out. I tried to put it in manual mode for the first time last week and I still can't get the dadgum thing to take decent pics-I never should have messed with it. I so need help. And I love Shel Silverstein, really. Our homeschool group does a poetry read every spring and this past year I had all of them do a SS poem. Look forward to reading your posts!
Peace,
Kathy
I'd like to say I have a "real" camera too with all the bells and whistles and interchangeable lenses and stuff but the fact of the matter is that when I bought my current camera (a Nikon P90), I was just too intimidated by the cost and power of the digital SLR cameras since I had no clue how to really use one and maximize its potential.
ReplyDeleteI love my P90 though. It's a point and shoot with an incredible zoom, the ability to crop photos while they are still on the camera and some other bells and whistles I haven't figured out yet. Still, for a point and shoot, it takes pretty amazing photos.
I really want/need to take a photography class though to I can learn about the digital SLRs and how to use them best. I just can't justify the expense for one of them until then, you know?
Glad you'll be following me...you're my first comment! :-) Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to your return visits!
