Pingback: What did you keep in your desk at school? | Gabrielle Bryden's Blog
Wow, fantastic haiga – brings back a few school day memories of treasure in the desk (my teacher in grade 2 was not impressed with my desk collection – some teeth I recall – haha)
aloha Gabrielle – thank you. way cool that this brings up memories in you. bwahahahaha – teeth collection. yeah, hey, i seem to remember a tooth or several in the tray in my desk one year or may be a couple too. for some reason (okay i know my reasons which i wont go into at the moment) teeth are special – i suspect i still have some in a drawer… it just occurred to me that may be that school “desk mentality” of collecting treasure may be were my collecting of odd bits and fascinating treasure gained a lot of momentum. …my studio has now become my old desk at school. yikes. ha. fun. aloha.
Hi Rick, fantastic verse and the image suits so well, doubling as both a suggestive image (of the treasure found) OR the treasure itself?
aloha and welcome Ashley – thank you. yeah, this is one of those works that zings me away. sometimes my own work will do that. and way yeah, on the multiple possibilities in this – i like what you are seeing with it. i like when haiku begins to offer new versions of itself each time i see, read, speak it. way cool on that. aloha.
The link between memory and writing (whether it’s autobiographical or not) is pretty interesting stuff huh? Whether it’s before, during or after we write a piece, the power of words to help with that shift to the past is pretty damn useful huh?
aloha Ashley – yeah, you have that spot on. not only between writer and what the writer writes. but between the written and others who read it. powerful memory stimulating going on there. i find when i draw/paint on location the drawing will trigger a lot of detail about that location day(s) and time of day for me – stuff that is not necessarily in the drawing – smells, sounds, feelings i had, things i was doing (outside of drawing) etc. i think it works that way for others too – especially if they have been to that location or seen something similar. yeah, very interesting link-ups. way interesting insight Ashley. mahalo (thank you). aloha.
