Still working with it. Composed in 4x5 proportions, and cropping away
slowly; and enjoying some of the texture under the subject. Also, I'm
working an essay on the subject of poetry and images and how words and
pictures work together - this relates to your question insofar as the
poem will end up in the cedar as one of a few examples of how word
placement may or may not affect the combination - all work in progress.

Yes. The poem is original. It all came about on a too hot Sunday
afternoon. The roses had been sitting there and words began to flow onto
paper. I began to reflect on how 'broken' my mother has been since my
dad's death a year and half ago. The camera came out. I wasn't really
sure if the image and words work together as strongly as each
separately. So I really appreciate your feed back.
Fond regards,
