Hi...Rosemary, your words are very much appreciated. High praise to any writer - thank you. Maybe I should pull my head out and "get to work" as my father would say. It's about time to really sit at the keyboard and get these words out (even if no one reads them.)Joel (@Stranded Tree)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00088694600301047120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-75631624279964358652020-03-30T06:14:20.786-04:002020-03-30T06:14:20.786-04:00I do think your writing is 'book-worthy'. ...I do think your writing is 'book-worthy'.

It may take me a while to finally get off my backside to jump into the publishing world and any advice is welcomed. I appreciate all of your encouragement to my words and maybe they are book-worthy. <br /><br />I try to use pictures I've taken or collected from my trail cameras. Others here take your own or borrow excellent pictures from around the sites. Having a right picture paired with the perfect words create a beautiful piece of magic. - CheersJoel (@Stranded Tree)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00088694600301047120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-1064429029068680522020-03-29T08:56:33.259-04:002020-03-29T08:56:33.259-04:00First, congratulations on your book!

Anyway, i like to accompany my poetry post with an illustration, usually from some free photo website like pixabay and morguefile. I also use photos that I took, and there is an extensive library in my PC. I also have the added advantage of able to do sketches on art paper. <br />i have a bunch of those'cut-up found poems' sitting at home, they are just newspaper and magazine pages with lines and words black out with marker pens to form entirely different lines. It's really quite fun to do and exercises the mind too. <br />Thank you for the heads up to Vandal Poem Of the Day. will bookmark their site. awesome poetry!dsnake1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724264906690080704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-4866201064570280792020-03-27T22:28:54.734-04:002020-03-27T22:28:54.734-04:00You're welcome.

Two historical novels need to be written but now I won't. I've been retired 19 years and none. Might compile some of my goofy poems for fun.<br />Thank you for the list of Paris museum, I've not been to a one of those, they aren't the terribly popular ones. We've been to Paris maybe 10 times for Mrs. Jim and nine for me. Not more for sure, maybe less. Our daughter's job took her to London, with family. We'd visit her twice a year, they'd come to the U.S. for Christmas or other. Once a year it would be Paris for us. Then a couple of times we took a granddaughter to Spain on a mission trip, when they reached age 16. Another time we jogged over there for cheering the London daughter along her way (we did that in NYC too, using the subways for five stops and the finish line),<br />My older daughter gave me a hard time for not having enough pictures so I upped it.<br />Got to go.

I co-administer three art challenge blogs, so I often use my own digital art. I've visited One Sentence Poems and VPOD. I can see I'll be spending some time there! Thanks, Rosemary, for the mental stimulation you bring each week. Especially much needed now in this time of isolation, when we're all missing social contact. My son retires today after 30 years as a respiratory therapist. He comes home from work each day physically and emotionally exhausted, and has nothing but praise for his coworkers who will continue the brave fight. Pray for our health care workers! <br />indybevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505539407819784525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-89644992357889764872020-03-27T12:29:22.145-04:002020-03-27T12:29:22.145-04:00Oh, than a gazillion thank yous for sharing the cu...Oh, than a gazillion thank yous for sharing the cut-up found poem.
