Picture This
I used to draw cats and dogs for my girls, as you can see I am not technically very good, but this is just to show that I can do something with my hands and a pencil or pen.
I have probably done a few other things by hand for Vocal, but mostly use AI art.
One thing about photography is that sometimes to can see and capture things that will never occur again. I think clouds are perfect examples of this, like this one that I saw out of my front door a few years back.
Now I didn't create it, but I captured it, and it will never be seen again.
Then there was this one on top of a crane.
Then there are posing cats
I don't know if this needs to be a poem, but just in case, here is a simple cinquain:

Some Recent (And Not So Recent) Poetic Forms And Projects
Introduction I decided to write a drabble (a story in exactly a hundred words) and then, like I often do, thought what if I turned it into a poem, with a constant line syllable count as a series of consecutive ABAB rhyme quatrains and was shocked how much harder it was than writing a simple story. I also could not use emojis to split the verses because they are counted as words, although I could have used a graphic, but I didn't think of that. Maybe I will find one and add it.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

That cloud looks eerily like an alien aircraft...are you sure it was a cloud. And your pic made me smile too, i do stick people.. so well done Mike. I love the presentation.
I love the cat that you drew & your pictures and your words! Well done Mike! βΊοΈ
Your cat drawing made me smile. And what a coincidence. I saw a video on YouTube that is suppose to make drawing easy for beginners. No stress just fun and I thought hmm, maybe I should get a sketch book and now here you are. Giving me a push with your drawing. The pictures you have taken, I also really love. The clouds, the perfectly placed crane under the clouds. You caught it just in time before it moved. The posing cat. I love it. This was right up my street. I love taking pictures, but sometimes it would be nice to draw as well. Thank you for publishing this and I love your cinquain too. β€οΈπ€
Hehehehehehw your cat drawing looked very cute. Loved that and your poem!
Super pictures and superbly penned cinquain!!!β€οΈβ€οΈπ
Really sweet. I love your hints of sentiment and the photographs. "If I Could Hold Time in a Bottle"- kinda feel.
I thought the clouds where like UFOβs too nice one Mike β¦οΈπβ¦οΈ
I adore your Cinquain! I love seeing how you see the sky and animals - it shows your personality so well.
Good work. Those clouds looked like UFO's and those cats what personalities they have. Good job on the poem as well.
