Yesterday at Long Point SP
A fellow blogger’s photo inspired this poem…hope you enjoy both:
Cold Colors
Cold colors streak across the landscape
Touching the soil, the water, and the air
With purple-tinted hues which deceive
Us into believing that we are warm and
That we can leap into nature’s arms…
…But the earth is frozen, the sea is frigid,
And the air chills us to the bone…
…Shocking our senses as
The wise, cold colors remind us
To look deeply before we leap.

About Pam Avery Printed
I graduated from the University of Georgia in 1972 with a major in journalism (public relations) and a minor in business (marketing). My experience for the last 40 years includes working in the corporate world (banking), the newspaper industry (advertising design and sales), owning and selling a restaurant, restoring and utilizing several old buildings on the property, teaching private dance and drama lessons for 20 years, free-lance writing for a national textile firm, publishing two children’s books, and ghost writing a book. My last tour of duty before beginning the current chapter was working as a reporter, photographer, and columnist for five weekly community newspapers.
And now I teach...media writing at Columbus State University in Columbus Ga. I consider myself very fortunate--I get to be around intelligent, energetic and enthusiastic young people. What a joy.
I believe the written word is one of the most powerful tools known to humankind. And now we have the ability to reach millions with a simple click of the mouse.
Wow.
