It's here! Finals done, graduation for Ari and Tina, can't find a job yet - -oh well- lolling by the pool by myself in last year's bikini, sweet tea, freshcrunching corn raw on the cob, warding off sunsparkles with a draping hand, a good book, a second good book standing by, free to gently blend into the gathering haze of chlorine.
Discovering a Character's Voice with Poems and Photography
Voices come to me when I see a snapshot. In my off-guard moment of grasping an image, any ol' character might push through to yak at me, jumping into the photo itself or pointing at the scenery from my train of thought.
"One at a time, one at a time!" I yell over the din. They can get unruly.
In this blog I am giving those voices a chance to be heard, whether it is a character I am working on, or anyone else needing to share their opinion. The photography is mine; the poetry is in a character's voice.
Please leave a comment if you have an epiphany (or hear voices) of your own!
