You fill me with inspiration like no other - I
have a poem rumbling about my head as I look at your photograph - And initially
I guess my thoughts are nowhere near any kind of reality but I’ll give it a go
and if I get anything from it I’ll post it in Blogger.

Here is one I did earlier of CJ my Nigerian heartthrob, my
best Web friend by far. I have never
known anyone who has been able to inspired me more than CJ and at times I
cannot put my finger on why that is. I
look at the photographs or “Selfies” (As they are now known) that CJ produces
and I compare them with Selfies produced by others. On the surface there is little difference between one and the
other but a little deeper there is a huge gulf between the Selfies others
take and the portraits that CJ produces.
I feel sure that if she had a little training she could be a
great photographer.

She hated her job and left hoping to find employment
elsewhere. Over the months she was
unable to find any other employment and became deeply depressed. She told me the other night that she asked
for her job back and even included a smiley face in her message to me about
getting her old job back
I’ve posted this image here in the hope of attracting CJ
along for a look see. The original
photograph has me brimming with inspiration and there are a whole number of
ideas I have from the other half of the above photograph, including images
of cells, poems and animated gifs.
I get Inspiration from many places, none so more than CJ.
Hi CJ, how you
keeping?
Are you hiding a smile?
Or have you gone through a trial?
Whichever way
One way or the other
The four walls remain silent
As they cling to one another
So I’ll never know
The thoughts in your head
“I’m fine”
Are words
That are easily said
Instead
Of repeating those thoughts that go round in your head
You put on a face
When about the place
And always ready for the next one that says
“How are you keeping?”
