Fit an image to a poem

[LinuxGold]

I'm thinking about this way -- finding a picture that matches a poem. This isn't a challenge or anything -- just a good way to see how people view this poetry and find a picture that resembles it. Doesn't matter if it is B/W, HDR, whatever it might be.



Thanks,

Here is the first one that I wrote -- a long ago.

Cherokee's Tree

In midst of the misty perspiration stood a reddish tree,
Amongst mammoths like Hyperion and Stratosphere Giant,
Reaching out into heavens so high and true,
Looking down at youthful fairy rings sprouted from stumps,
Like offspring looking up at such a magnificent nature,
That imbibes water like there's no tomorrow,
Growing in perpetual growth without end,
As thousands came and went in their lives,
Witnessing the world of its life so long,
Silently in midst of the misty perspiration stood a reddish tree!

Nice idea (normally I come up with a poem to Habakuk's photo's).
How about:

I like that perspective! Plenty of water for tree to draw up! Good match!

Good idea, go ahead put up new poem. A person who posts a picture can put down new poem..

From John Donne:

What if this present were the worlds last night?
Marke in my heart, O Soule, where thou dost dwell,
The picture of Christ crucified, and tell
Whether that countenance can thee affright,
Teares in his eyes quench the amazing light,
Blood fills his frownes, which from his pierc'd head fell.
And can that tongue adjudge thee unto hell,
Which pray'd forgiveness for his foes fierce spight?
No, no; but as in my idolatrie
I said to all my profane mistresses,
Beauty, of pitty, foulnesse onely is
A sign of rigour: so I say to thee,
To wicked spirits are horrid shapes assign'd,
This beauteous forme assures a pitious minde.

We should make this an assignment for the month may.

not quite, the poster of an image fitting a poem, also makes a new post in this thread with another poem we all can try to fit an image to.
