the silence

of the carousel

(Second place, Sketchbook kukai, January 2008)

Inside our hands, outside our hearts said...: Loved this one Bill. I makes me feel how at peace I felt riding one and let's not forget that moon. What a sweet opal lady she is.

Thank you.; 2:08 PM
polona said...: tome, this is an image of desolation... but there's the magic of the moon
love it; 2:10 PM
Bill said...: polona and T, you obviously find different things here. I suspect they are all here to be found. There is a kind of peace in the image and a sense of something like desolation as well. Where the emphasis falls is up to you.; 9:04 PM
collin barber said...: I love this one, Bill. A perfect haiku, IMHO . . . Great juxtaposition with the circular moon and the carousel. And when you add the kinetic coldness and the silence to it, there is a bit of magic. Nicely done.

Bill said...: Much appreciated, Collin.; 8:50 AM
Pat Paulk said...: Maybe, the moon didn't want to pay the fare for the ride, so the carousel shut down.; 6:11 AM
Bill said...: Weird, Pat. Mooned any carousels lately?; 9:45 AM
