A River of Small Stones ii
Welcome to the world of concise thought. These are exercises in getting the most emotion from the least amount of words. Some of the pieces are in a basic haiku pattern.
All the photographs were taken by the author at various times but used to garner words during July - one day at a time.
The style of poetry is called ekphrasic which means it uses one form of art (in this case photography) to inspire another i.e. the poetry.
