Dreams of Sea and Sky
-
C&C welcome…
There is a voice in the silence
A voice ever calling
A voice like the song of a far distant sea
A music the soul
Of the wild breakers roaring
If floats like a dream
O’er the waters to me
I hear it with tears
And a heart wildly beating
While far and alone
In a strange land I roam
And I weep as I list
And my prayers give it greeting
The voice of the green Isle
My country and my homeForgive the intrusion; its hard to believe
but there is some confusion, do you try to deceive?
You say that your language is just second rate
but its surely not Spanglish, and the lines read just great
at the end of your writing there is a big lie
so to stop any fighting why don’t you try
to take out that byline that simply looks strange
maybe now is the time to make the big change
Forgive all this doggerel, but it just plays its part
to show up this mongrel beside your fine art
I’ve made my point badly, but it needs to be said
so I’ll leave this page sadly, shaking my head
at what I’ve just written it just seems so trite
to follow your verses with this load of shite.Apologies,
but it needed to be said.
just not like this- :Djoseph
Well, your English it?s so perfect that I?m afraid didn?t understand that right. You?re talking about that line of my signature? Take that out? Ok?i?ll do it.. :) I wrote that so I can comment your photos without saying something stupid and you miss understand the reason. I just love to write and in Portuguese its so much easier and I get a little frustrated for not be able to express me in English like in native language!! But I will remove that line now!! :) I?m wondering?are talking about the same thing?! Oh? and it?s Portuguese? Spanish no please hehe
If its about the poem.. it was not written by me? I should quote the author.. its an old song from Ireland written by John Mcdermott in the “The Green Isle Of Erin” .I guess then I?m prepared to go to Ireland? I actually know how to speak English!!!???? :shock: :D
Thanks Joseph :wink:
Your English is just fine-
sorry about the Spanglish thing,
it really was inexcusable-I’m not sure what to say about your pictures-
If they were mine I’d be tempted to use my favourite 2×1 crop on some of the wide ones-
the interest seems to be mostly in the skies.Nice conversion in the last one,
I love the cloud bank in the far distance.j
Last one is great.
Very dramatic and striking. And a great conversion!!!
Hi Erin..
These are all lovely shots… but the impact of the first two stolen by the last one .. great dramatic sky, its just full of movement .. I like it alot .. more than like it :D
L
I like the last two. Relax vs. drama.
We should have new section or/and competition ‘Photo poems’. Photos which describe the poem or other way.Some great shots there, Erin, and nice to see it mixed in with some words to set the scene.
3 and 4 take it for me – both are stunning.

Excellent work there Erin, very impressive. I’m particularly drawn to
shots two and four, just love those dramatic skies.And what of poor Joseph, aspiring poet?
As poets go, he wasn’t too bad.
And as poets go, he went.Rob.
Thank you Rob,
I must have been inspired by the verses above it,
it just kinda flowed out of me, (before crashing on the page)
and then I made the mistake of hitting the submit button.What a long-winded way of complimenting Paticia’s English,
and pleading for the removal of her signature-Anyway, Erin did remove her signature,
which was too apologetic about her command of the English language,
and I’m going to change that post for a nice little one-liner,
as soon as I can think of one-Not that it made muck sense before,
but it makes absolutely none now-back to blank
verseI?m so glad with your reception, but even more with your words about inspiration? I?ve already said to you that Ireland its my greatest inspiration, so its great to ?hear? that those words meant something to you. I loved your the idea of crating a section of poems/ photos. Photography it?s a way of silent expression, but sometimes I don?t resist to tell a story with the words I keep inside.
But at this moment I?m keeping every word each one of you just said.
Madra Rua, you?re absolutely right about posting them separately?its more pleasant to visualize that way!!
The bw photo its one of my first attempt of a more serious conversion, glad it went ok!!Thank you so much!! :wink: :)
Hate poetry. Hated Enlgish in school. But love these photos. That b/w shot is special.
I nice set of images Erin.
I like the B&W the best, but thats just me (a mono man).
Just a little bit of advice on the b&w image.
Keep an eye on the highlights. Don’t let them go completely white.Regards Neil
