PAPER TRANSFORMS
In days of yore
The pen was mightier
Than the sword
Steady fingers
Dipped quill into ink
Formed furies
On paper parchment
Or whatever else held
Words content
Come the era
Of taps and clicks
Paper transforms virtual
A graphic design
On a screen.

Oh, I LOVE those "Formed furies." Sometimes it feels just like that. Also brings to mind snow flurries of words.

I think that the words might matter more than the paper... before there was paper stories were taken from memory.

Yes the oral tradition predates all writing, even reading. Parchment, scrolls, clay tablets, written in stone...and now virtual, like crypto, like the nucleus of an atom, it's only there because you say it is, or wish it so.

I second Glenn's comment - he took the thoughts out of my mind - or is the words out of my mind?
DeleteAnyway, lovely poem, Gillena!

Yummy food photos! Times have changed indeed - all the words are just a tap or click away. I like that we don't waste paper this way.

I think words can still be mightier than a sword as they can cut deep.

It is interesting to stop and think how our paper has become virtual over the past few decades. I wonder when children will start learning to type instead of write?
ReplyDeleteYes, we hope for peace and freedom. Your food looks delicious, we love tomatoes, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy MosaicMonday

This year I’m making a point of writing with pen and pencil more. My handwriting is horrible. Must do something about that. There’s nothing more tasty than a homegrown tomato, yummm.

Can't have too many tomatoes! And you can publish your archive photos any time as far as I'm concerned -- they're so pretty (and make me so hungry!). Thanks for your comment on my post Gillena -- I looked up a picture of your Poui tree and I think it is the very same tree as the Jacaranda we have here, just a different name. The part of Florida where we live has a climate more like yours than it is like the rest of the USA...we are subtropical and really there is only a wet season and a dry season. I wouldn't be too surprised if our temperature is about the same as yours most of the time also. (It's pretty hot in the summer months, besides being wet. That is why we go back to Oregon at that time.)
ReplyDeleteI have seen classified the Yellow Poui (scientific name: Handroanthos serratifolius, formerly Tabebuia serratifolia).
ReplyDeleteAnd Jaracanda as a genus.
But i have also read where the Jaracanda is called black poui
However the leaves of both are quite different. But thats for the scientists to deceide on.😊

Gillena - nothing beats fresh tomatoes, especially ones from the garden. I like your prose - I do think there is something really special about putting a pen on paper that can't be replaced with a keypad! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteThis sunflower is beautiful and colourful. I like tomatoes and I usually add tomatoes in most recipes. It can add flavour to any dish.
