Rae's Poetic Ramblings: Quick post
http://raetrigg.blogspot.com/2013/11/quick-post.html
The verbal and photographic wanderings of an incurable romantic. I have a regular commitment on Thursdays right now, which leaves me with not enough time to put together a proper post for tonight. So I will leave you with a shot from off the bridge between Chincoteague and Assateague. Spread out before one. To soothe the spirit. And calm one's soul. I may not have the chance to post tomorrow; if not, posting will resume on Monday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Alexandria, VA, United States.

Rae's Poetic Ramblings: Halloween pumpkin
http://raetrigg.blogspot.com/2013/10/halloween-pumpkin.html
The verbal and photographic wanderings of an incurable romantic. Like we usually do, we stopped at a local church that sells pumpkins every year from a Navajo reservation in New Mexico. This year, their pumpkins were a bit on the large side and I decided to get an oblong one rather than a round one. I also picked out a design as I like to do something different every year. This was the design I chose, printed out with the appropriate bits cut away. I found the design here: ThinkGeek pumpkin templates.

Rae's Poetic Ramblings: October wining: on the way home
http://raetrigg.blogspot.com/2013/10/october-wining-on-way-home.html
The verbal and photographic wanderings of an incurable romantic. October wining: on the way home. So, this past Sunday, as we headed home from the winery, as we got closer to home, we got onto 495. As we came off the exit, I happened to look up . I did a double-take, pointed, and said " What. Understand, I work for an association that specializes in aerospace medicine, so I wasn't sure what to think of what I was looking at. For a second, I wondered if I was looking at one version of a car-plane. All pho...

Rae's Poetic Ramblings: Friday dinner
http://raetrigg.blogspot.com/2013/10/friday-dinner.html
The verbal and photographic wanderings of an incurable romantic. I served the sauce over egg noodles, also bought at the local farmer's market. We had the sauce over the pasta with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a glass each of red wine. In this case, the wine was the Cabernet Franc from the Village Winery that we bought this past weekend. Now Im hungry again :-). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rae's Poetic Ramblings: Weekend trip, part II
http://raetrigg.blogspot.com/2013/11/weekend-trip-part-ii.html
The verbal and photographic wanderings of an incurable romantic. Weekend trip, part II. Friday we drove over to Assateague Island. We had originally intended to rent bikes, but it was just far too cold. So we drove over and took a walk on the Wildlife Loop. The first bird is a Snowy Egret and the second is a Great Blue Heron. They seemed to be a pretty common sight on the island and attracted a lot of photographers, at least on the access road. Out on the water! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcom...

Rae's Poetic Ramblings: What government?
http://raetrigg.blogspot.com/2013/10/what-government.html
The verbal and photographic wanderings of an incurable romantic. Error 545: The requested government was not found in this capital. Move along, nothing to see here. Clouds of words confuse. As the speeches tap dance. And common sense fades. The two haiku above were written partially in response to current events and partially inspired by Poets Online Random Line Generator. The original phrases were "In the air of words the dreamers rejoice" and "Under the cover of the dance the poets fade.". Blog; I rese...

Rae's Poetic Ramblings: Wild and stormy weather
http://raetrigg.blogspot.com/2013/08/wild-and-stormy-weather.html
The verbal and photographic wanderings of an incurable romantic. Wild and stormy weather. The storm rolls across the sky. Beyond the rain,. Of air and water,. Hidden from the land. With no road signs. To point the way home. Rapt in the wildness. Of the boiling clouds. And the howling wind. Who fade in the sun. The photo was taken in 2011 in Alexandria, VA. The poem was written in 2012, inspired by Language Is a Virus' Poetry Generator. Labels: free form poetry. Loved your poem and the photo too. Is licen...

Rae's Poetic Ramblings: Dragon flowers
http://raetrigg.blogspot.com/2012/06/dragon-flowers.html
The verbal and photographic wanderings of an incurable romantic. Glow softly against green leaves. In the bright daylight. Guarding their mother plant. This is one of the plants in my mini-garden out on our balcony. In the past week it produced those small, pretty flowers. The neighbor of a friend gave me the plant and unfortunately, I don't remember what she told me it was. Eventually I'll look it up. Labels: flights of fancy. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rae's Poetic Ramblings: A new year
http://raetrigg.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-new-year.html
The verbal and photographic wanderings of an incurable romantic. Well, I was going to post a photo of the snowy weather we got here in Northern Virginia back on the night of Jan. 1 to Jan. 2, but Google has apparently once again changed things to make posting more difficult. Congratulations, Google. I think I'm giving up on you. If I can figure out what they did to change things this time, I am going to try to resume posting Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. If not, I will have to find an alternative.
