Bob Ross inspired me!

[Dronee]

I was injured at work, so I have some free time for a while... And I don't know who it was that joked about Bob Ross putting her to sleep in our chats, but I decided to just watch the videos. He inspired me so last week, I took up digital painting...

I also have some poems to go with them... I'm a complete beginner, so don't taunt too much yar? wait 2 secs to reload the image... Also including some new short poems I wrote... I'm really enthusiastic about painting though I'm not really good at it... Practice, practice, practice...

WAYSIDE GRASS

Grass by the wayside
Alone, abide
And by the wayside
Lonely, despite

Cause out of sight, out of mind
And by the wayside, out of time
And busy people now passing by
For Time for them is rushing by

But grass by the wayside
Time by measured strides
But you'd never see
For rushing to be busy

I'm green now but I'd fade one day
So would you then go away?
Or would you rather stay?
So paint me now or I'd fade away...




Candlelight
Candle bright
First light I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Share this moment with you tonight

Drone you're back ~ !

Anyway, I find watching Bob Ross on television in the early morning very very relaxing... I don't know why people make fun of him.

Won't be around as much... First time or so in two weeks that I actually popped by.... Say... how do I make the pictures larger? I have more stuff I want to put up... And yeah... I don't think we should make fun of him... Fine line between humour and insult sometimes.

I hope this works... found a program on the net that helps resize...

You're suppose to use the "direct link to image" not the url link? Get what i mean?

example.

Imageshack.us

Upload pic

copy the first url "direct link"

Oh... so you're supposed to host it somewhere first, then this would link back there... and the image itself is not stored in the thread, saving space.

Never mind then... I'll just upload in thumbnail form. I have to go very soon anyway... Hmm... I wanted to thank the person who mentioned Bob Ross to me... Can't remember who though... probably agoraphobickatie.



Mountains far away
A distant misty gray
Lapping waves, tranquil bay
And your sorrows far away
End to end, the sunlight's sway
And by the bay, the tree to stay
A pleasant end, this steadfast friend
So stay a while on this fine fair day.



The fading blue
A misty hue
In mists they grew
These flowers true
Once fading blue
Now bright anew





The sea at dusk
And what is it you ask
But crimson and velvet in merging
The night sky yet beginning
The little light now gently waning
And softly shadows now in growing

The lofty patterns oft-recurring
When night to day and back to night
Then the little rock by the seaside
Who's here today and here tonight
And who is it you ask
The silent witness of the sea at dusk



It's a hood...

THE BEST OF ME (poetry)

By the drizzle's drip
You see the iceberg's tip
And you steer and avoid
And consigned it to the void
So deftly the helmsman's grip

By the roiling sea
The rolling waves endlessly
You see their crests, it's plain to see
Their troughs hidden well beneath the sea
The hidden motion that propels
The unseen motif that compels
So fractals in fractals endlessly

By the days that flow
I see you come and go
Would I then ever know?
What is it that you see?
The patient tree that waits to grow?
Or the iceberg's tip by the floe?
And if you've seen the rest of me
Won't you now find the best of me?
