The Ring of Agony #oddlyme #poetry #micorpoetry #agony #endurance #rage #sorrow #modern #triolet #trioletpoetrt #poetryprompt
The Ring of Agony 

rage rises whenever the heart aches 
and near the edge of fear, courage bravely trembles 
as sorrow hides beneath what endurance resembles 
heartbeats stutter as dismay trembles                               
every tendon and bone shakes
agony remembers every heartbreak                                 
rage rises whenever the heart aches 
and near the edge of fear courage bravely trembles

Dawn under El Niño at home. Deep gradient sky from indigo to orange framing silhouetted ridge trees. Beyond the aesthetic light, zero rain, a dying stream, and power cuts mark the onset of a severe drought. Minimalist horizon, heavy reality +ALT #luiscordobapharchive #scape #elniño #nofilters #eck
Horizontal orientation landscape photograph titled "El Niño Sunrise and Drought Horizon". The composition features a prominent gradient sky transitioning from deep indigo blue at the top to vibrant orange and magenta tones near the horizon. The lower third is anchored by the solid black silhouette of a rolling mountain ridge lined with distinct tree shapes. The image captures the stark beauty of sunrise contrast alongside the environmental context of El Niño drought, dry natural small stream water supply at home conditions, and regional energy rationing. Optimized for El Niño drought photography, sunrise silhouette, minimalist horizon, sky color gradient, environmental documentary landscape, and drought climate impact indexing.

28.12.2022 - Visit to Kaipara Coast Plant Centre & Sculpture Garden. Just a short distance from the entrance of the sculpture trail is the second sculpture: “Tik Tok” by Rod McMahon. The large work of art is made of steel pipe and corten steel (and very reasonably priced at $18K!) 👀 From the description: “Due to electronic devices, most of us never see the passing of a minute anymore. Tik Tok visually reminds us of how fleeting a minute is by showing time as a mechanically moving element.”  And yes, the sculpture does move! Set in a dense green copse with a layer of leaves on the ground underneath, four large, rusted steel rings rotate, each ring having cut out numbers, as well as the words “TIK TOK”.  At the time of the photo, it was 15.05, which prominently displays in the middle of the photo. In the lower right-hand corner is a small, dark blue sign with the sculpture’s details.

Never bought #matchbox size matches since I wasn’t a smoker. Couldn’t see the point in buying them, however, I have one given to me many years ago by my brother-in-law. He brought it back from a business trip to Brazil as a gift for me. No matches in it, but it’s not empty. #vss365 #writingprompts
