Georgeson Island
Incomparable View by: Terrel Welch
Georgeson Island
Waters calm.
Skies on fire.
Observe.
Public park.
Private scene.
Create.
Early summer.
Evening sun.
Paint.
Transitory break.
Solitary island.
Meditate.
Incomparable view.
Fleeting moment.
Capture.

One of my Twitter friends TERRILL WELCH photographed the above photo. Last time, I wrote a poem about one of her paintings,Henderson Hill, this time, for this particular photo.
Terrill thinks the best link for this poem might be:

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

Beautimus picture and I would some how make sure I had a boat load of paper with me on that Island. Would love to see what kind of poems God would bring outta me while there. Very nicely written. Thanks for sharing.

i don’t understand what you are saying???
Lovely. I like your depiction of place and the creation process.
Thank you telling me about it via Twitter. I’m @ThePoetryCabin. My personl Twitter is @soulsprite.
Great photo!
Ha – Is that your way of saying you didn’t like my poem? Good one.
took some time to get past the awsome picture,such a great write on time still,yet in movement.
you sound like an artist.
Beautiful poem
-Like walking

The simplicity of your lines captures the feel of the photo (and I assume the place) really well. Really nice writing.
love the way you’ve captured this photo’s gorgeous beauty in a very succinct style. beautiful.
Nice, Tammy! You really have “captured” the image with your words and have finished it brilliantly…sometimes I still get surprised with how effective simply selecting those key words can be. Wonderful weave!
Nature and art seem continuous, exchangeable here. One informing the other. Your careful choice of words convey the ethereal emotion of an experience. Beautiful.
wow…very unusual voice for you…serene…i like
Your words are as soothing as the photograph
“Transitory break.
Solitary island.
Meditate.” – I’ll take that!
nice…it looks like a great place to meditate…and on a single island…no man is an island but in it you can find serenity…
I like the linking nature and repetition of each grouping, Tammy. Each stands on its own as a descriptive and emotional entity. Very cool and very in keeping with that stunning photo.
WOW…. this is AWESOME!…. the grouping of each set of words … the last line of each stanza… THIS IS BRILLIANT. Says so much in so few words!
Nicely hatched, Tammy! The verse and the descriptions make me want to visit the island.

An uncountable number of trees on that tiny blob of land–gorgeous pic, concise poem.

Lovely poem !
Really love it when so much is said in so few words….it’s a special gift, and you have it!
Hey Tammy, your words fit perfectly with the photo. Love the contrasts.
Tammy/Bat-Ami,
Such a beautiful poem. Your outlook is much more optimistic than mine! Thanks for posting a comment on my blog. Peace to you, sister, Amy
I’ll take an order of this:
“Transitory break.
Solitary island.
Meditate.”
Wonderfully compact, like the little island. K.
Love the structure here…as if giving directions to yourself. Very nice!
Oh. Didn’t see it as giving directions to self. But I like that. I love it when people see something I never saw. Gives it a whole new feel. Thnx soooo much. 🙂
I love poems that say a lot with economy of words. Beautiful.
Gorgeous cascade of verses
I liked the calmness in this. Love the imagery.
Thanks for the read =)
my favourite piece ive read of yours i think!- you just have this style- this way of putting the sort lines together to make something magical-
Incomparable view.
Fleeting moment.
Capture.
Its in moments like this i THINK about this- if that makes any sense at all
Both poem and image beautiful and serene. Enjoyed reading this very much!
Simplicity is a beautiful thing.
Very nicely done.
I agree with everyone here, what an image this is.
Lovely, this one made me smile. 🙂
This was wonderfully written. Simple and descriptive. Great photo as well.
