Voices of the Ancestors
Interesting picture. I’ve been there. It’s one of the Anasazi ruins at Mesa Verde. I’ll write!
Remember to also comment on Thursday!
I love the photographs that have been selected here. In my personal experience, I’ve found it much easier to write a poem to a photograph than to a painting. (Maybe because I’m more math-y than arts-y.)
Donald, how cool that you know this place! I’ve never been there, and have no immediate associations. I’m looking forward to reading your poem.
Philip, interesting how you work. I respond very well to paintings. I look at them like dreams, or as if the painting were a poem and I’m trying to enter it.
