Reflections on Plato – Trifextra challenge

Trifextra challenge is a picture challenge. To avoid any infringement issues I put my own picture here instead. The meter in the poem below is iambic hexameter, and I had to play with it a little to get to 33 words.
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
like Plato’s famous cave we dancing shadows see
in mirrors moving can I fathom what is real?
below they touch coherently, I reach for thee
separated here it doesn’t matter what we feel

  1. this is lovely, Bjorn.
    you would have been able to use the photo provided by using the links given (if you click on the center link it takes you to the picture and you can get the code to use it.) As long as you don’t publish the picture without those links you are golden.

    I do like your picture, though. 🙂

  2. I had an immediate complaint against ‘it doesn’t matter what we feel’ . Then again, if feelings are afforded its correct place within the intelligence, I suppose it fits. Feelings can be a dime a dozen.

  3. Reality is always elusive-but then who knows illusion may be a reality too-maybe a parallel world exists somewhere?:-)Liked this different take.
