A Chance Missed

image source here



Four mighty beaks

Of velvet ravens

Dug into the soft mud

And flew away

With the pond

Holding its four corners

The Ganges dolphin sighed

Not to find Joel Robinson there

    Enjoying thinking about the ravens flying away with the pond, Sumana. That would be quite a feat indeed! Smiles.

    Groovy piece. The last image of Joel Robinson makes me think of Mystery Science Theater 3000- was this your intent?

    What a great image you conjured up with these velvet ravens flying away with the pond, before throwing in some confusion by mentioning the Ganges. A great piece!

    I like the image of the ravens flying away with the lake. I can picture it but there's no way I could draw what I see. Thanks for invoking such a vivid image.

    Cool imagery with velvet ravens flying off with a pond. Interesting reference to Joel Robinson. If same one I am thinking of, he'd have had a very interesting commentary I'm sure!!! Nicely done!
