ghostly music

A murmurous laughter of wind
arose, rustled on, and died away…
ghostly music

. . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem is 'psithurisma,' which means whispering.

Nobody does onomatopoeia like the Greeks.

Hmm.. I was thinking psycho tourist but whispering is so much nicer. :)

I really like the market picture.I can't believe how you were able to suggest the crowd and goods in the background with the bold cages in front. I hope I can take tips from that. And a bird with an attitude as well!

Thanks! This was my mini practice for a big one for the NWWS. I'll report on results after you're back from Thailand. Have a great trip!!!!!

I am smitten by this piece.

Ooh, I like 'smitten'! Still working on the large painting of it, which will probably be posted here too.
