My eye captured the creeping vine
but it’s not mine this sweet design
colors well forth this time of year
awash in red the veins are clear
nature can’t lapse or lose its place
master’s piece, no practiced trace
I only draw that which I see
you create from nothing, creator’s glee
Season’s Joy
Ulterior is my motive
To jingle bells

Your mixture of images and words really reminds me of W.G. Sebald. A lot of mystery in between the text and image.

Such a lovely festive poem, Leslie. “create from nothing, creator’s glee” So true, and that’s the essence of creativity: to make something out of magic, and the whole process and end results is often like magic 🙂

So true that the creator created from ‘nothing.’ That is the true art really. Our human-produced art pales in comparison…..
