Cup Refilled

I started a photo project back in October called 365 project. Essentially, what the project involves is posting a photo a day for a year. I have been amazed at some of the incredible talent on this site and am learning a lot about my camera and how to use the manual settings. I posted a collage tonight with the pictures above, but wanted to share them individually and in black and white. This was my version of a time-lapse photo.

Coffee in the Morning

my new coffee mug

Today
Frank O'Hara, 1926-1966

Oh! kangaroos, sequins, chocolate sodas!
You really are beautiful!  Pearls,
harmonicas, jujubes, aspirins!  all
the stuff they've always talked about

still makes a poem a surprise!
These things are with us every day
even on beachheads and biers.  They
do have meaning.  They're strong as rocks.


Today Over Coffee
Lora Gill

Oh!  Yorkshire terriers, silly bands, Starbucks coffee!
You really are beautiful!  Cell phones,
iPods, GPSs, digital cameras! all
the stuff they've always talked about

still makes a poem a surprise!
These things are with us every day
even in the car and at the bedside table.  They
do have meaning.  They're strong as rocks.

But not all that life is meant to be.
