(Already, I'm not pleased with my response to TheRacket's work. I know that by saying this I'm going against advice from professional artists with years of experience who advise to never say anything negative about your own work- there are plenty of people out there willing to do that for you. One portrait painter told me that after she finished a portrait she would have to say that it looked amazingly like the sitter, because whether it did or not she, frequently enough, wouldn't get paid. Apparently, most people are reluctant to tell an artist something different than what the artist says, as the artist knows the most about their own work, right?

 

I don't know if my displeasure is based on the fact that I originally had something else planned and it didn't pan out like I thought, or if it's because I'm in a state of general ennui. Still, I like the image. I wish I had more time, but there's the beautiful conflict of Creativity Exchange. Limited time, unlimited possibilities... and go!)

The words are TheRacket's. Image and blue words are mine:

 

[the mystery of the wintry shivers]  


i find myself haunted by fresh-fallen snowflakes

if ever there was a reason to shiver
or was it the chill of the ice in the air
or a time to forget warmer times worth
that caused me to shiver like poltergeists passing
would be when I'm frightened by winter times' presence
right through me would cause me to do were they there?

as if inside and out of forever be here.

Re: Creativity Exchange Returns, Season 2.
Alas, I did not. And we're not going to be able to see it until next week. =( As our recorder was with us last night. Thems the trade-offs. I think we got the better end of the deal. (AAP)

 

Still, Mr. Welling is my crush and it would have been nice to see such hotness.

The verticle and horizontal lines provide a nice contrast...also interesting is the interplay of your lines against tR's

Thank you very much for the comment. It's nice to hear what other people think of the work. Especially when I'm feeling so wishy-washy over my response.

Love the way you interespersed your words, makes for a nice duet. Good season premiere twist.

 

The picture looks like the promise of Spring to me. Cold and dreary enough to shiver, but the sunlight on the whitewashed fence looks like Spring creeping in.

Thanks, Trill-Love.

What gets me about this picture is how much space the fence takes.  Is one keeping poltergeists in or out?

And the different lines.  There is an imposition of awkward order. Defined, but not perfect.

I like it.

Thank you for the feedback, Sweet-Sandi.

Re: Creativity Exchange Returns, Season 2.
I meant to reply yesterday, but I was hurried and didn't want to give you a rushed I-think-you're-great reply. I wanted to give you a thoughtful comment that was real.

 

First of all, I love the picture - the lines, the symmetry... not created by you but captured by you perfectly - it's just magnificent. I wish I had your eye for such things. I normally try to avoid getting power lines in my pictures, and yet... they so perfectly complemented the fence! I would have never thought of taking that picture. I would have turned the other way or aimed differently. Oh, the beautiful picture I would have missed.

 

Second of all, I'm not sure how the words were writted. Did theracket submit his part and then you decided to add yours or did you plan it that way? Because your infusion worked beautifully. Reading just his words as one, then reading just your words as one, then reading them together as they are as one... it's three different meanings in one as if seducing the reader at different tempos.

 

You, who were so critical of yourself, missed how incredibly amazing it turned out.

Having said that... I think you are great.

Re: Creativity Exchange Returns, Season 2.
Thank you for your word. Your opinions/thoughts are appreciated.

To answer the unspoken question- TheRacket gave me the poem and I responded with the blue words and the image. We don't really discuss our pieces much before we exchange them because we don't want to influence the other; letting the work speak for itself.

Thank you, Laughwithme.

P.S.  I just read your entry and want to respectfully ask you to shut up. It's obvious you care for your daughter and you care very well for her. All children deserve the best and we can't always be the best, but she wouldn't/shouldn't have anyone else but you.
