Poppies in the wind
Please bear with me. This is an experiment. I saw the slight breeze moving the poppy petals around today and made a short video with my iPhone. What it reminded me of was the movie "American Beauty." I read somewhere that the director had seen a plastic bag blowing around, playing if you will, in the wind and it inspired the whole movie which revolves somewhat around a boy on the edge who fills his life with video of beauty as he sees it. This is 34 seconds and iPhone shaky. Not exactly ready for prime time, but a learning experience. Now a plot revolving around a lonely old man recalling the loves of his life and seeing their beauty in the flower garden he cultivates. That sounds like a work in progress as well, though if you read the poem a couple of posts down, it might be further on its way than I thought. Then again, maybe not. It's tough to see the new horizon when you are surrounded by tall mountains. I would love some feedback.
