Was there my doppelganger here a moment ago?

“What does he mean, Camera Obscura?”

It’s Aristotle’s dark box.

“You mean a pinhole camera?”

That’s the one.

“What’s that got to do with me poem”

He wants the reader see Giotto’s Florence

as the real one, in perspective.

“You’re balmy!”

"lost the words

you always wanted

to give"



I find these words touching. Some people don't want to be loved?



EDIT: I could have used the word "empty quest" too.

Yes, or maybe even your Poltergeist.



Camera Obscura,

We have such a scenario

Below the Cliff House

In San Francisco

It's dark inside

But for a huge white bowl

Reflects the outside

Reflects the soul

Of reality

For all to see

In what appears a most stunning 3-D

Seagulls circle endlessly

I sing in silent harmony

What do I see?

Am I really balmy?

No, my eyes do not lie.

It is trump l'oy.Was there my doppelganger here a moment ago?
Is it a Camera Oscura,

For sure a

box with a hole?

Why such a frenzy

In golden Firenze?

A picture can capture the soul.Was there my doppelganger here a moment ago?
Gee,

TD,

I just watched on TV,

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,":

It was yesterday, you see,

And HE DIDN"T TELL ME...

OOPS...lol! he, he, he...



(Well, at least this non-poet made a 'phooey' rhyme, he, he, he)

Fantasy...Ecstasy...Non-Poetry

Still more than a wee bit of fun for me



Oh well, take it from where it came, LOL!

Aristotle wasn't so fussy...you see!!!
I looked through a pinhole

and the world came into focus

the camera obscura

became a magic lantern.
Your vision is clear,

even focused.

But we must tell

you're reversed!
