Silent Film

The picket fence may still perfect
Our insight on domestic life.
For black and white in some respects
Inherently project the strife
Of time and space, both relative
To forward motion, lovely still
Despite the lack of sound, progression
Rocks, retired, without commotion,
Content with legs and flicks of notion.

Even though this one is about a media without sound...it shouts volumes to me, and I listen with a smile!  Nice work here!!!

Gads, I'm back.  The image of an old b&w home movie keep coming to mind, the flickering and of course, unsure hand of the filmographer....all legs on the screen, thinking we have the whole picture in front of us....and the noise of the motion picture as the reel takes the film round and round...clicking....clicking....

I'm just waiting for the lightbulb to go out as they always did....

VERY good, RMW....

This is really impressive.  I could picture what you were saying in B&W.  Really a different concept.

well done. . .
