Ominous Sighting




Ominous Sighting

Over the horizon 
A distortion
Mars the edge
Of a new world
Promises just made
To a recent moon
Initiates a silence
Until more is known

Ominous Sighting
Islands Off Solitude
In the search for an island off solitude.
These watchers, I so enjoyed drawing. All three are from the same pose, viewed from different vantage points.

  1. Bonjour,

    Je ne sais pas si ces "trois grâces" sont inquiètes, mais j'aime la manière qu'elles se tiennent, lascives.
    c'est un très joli croquis. J'espère qu'il sera l'objet d'une prochaine peinture ?...
    Gros bisous à vous.

    1. I don’t know of the three graces.. But I sort of like the idea of the three women content in their world seeing a potential change heading their way.
      I have the canvas waiting for the painted version.
      Thank you

  2. Stunning sketch and words as long as the boat moves on and doesn't carry men who need wives, would totally destroy these beauties...when this laptop stops working you're going to be one of the blogs I miss the most, seeing as it happens everytime, I can't help but wonder when it will happen again, I've lost too much too many photos,novels, short stories, poetry, what I have now is not worth conserving...I just hope it can last a few more months

    1. Too bad most men wouldn’t just pass on.. They’d have to at least test the waters…
      I hope the laptop situation improves. Each one I have owned has a secret code that causes them to self-destruct after I have owned them for three years.. I think it’s all preplanned this way.
      Thank you, good luck..

  3. Why do I see three Pagans awaiting the dawn of the Solstice here?!
    (My own guilt at missing it this year, perhaps!)

    This is fabulous, Anthony...I would love a vacation on these distant Islands!:)

    1. I can see how that is what you might see. I wasn’t thinking of the Solstice. I wish I had been. It would have been a better story☺
      As for the vacation; should I be adding a fourth???
      Thank you
