I'll tell you a little story, but don't start laughing now
Seems I've picked up men again, but I surely don't know how
I was taking pictures of a creek in my neighbourhood
Lovely setting of sun was getting me in poetical mood
When suddenly a voice yelled "Hey lady, what you're doing"
Frightened the hell out of me, but it seemed he wasn't wooing
Two of them were in a car, custom officers driving 'round
In this lonely place they thought a lady in distress they'd found
I told them: "I am taking pics of the beautiful landschape Sir"
And when I'm finished I will mix them in a poetical stir
They will be seen on internet and people will enjoy
The good ones I will keep and the bad I will destroy
They gazed at me as they'd never seen a lady taking pics
They asked me for the website to see where I got my kicks
I'd forgotten all about it when suddenly this afternoon
I got an email telling me that his wife would concact me soon
Because they'd found me on the web and loved the pictures well
And they want me to expose them is all I now can tell
So fate has brought me one more time in contact with a man
But honestly I can tell you that I'm glad I did not ran
The exposition will be held in an elderly home quite near
Lots of locals will come there to watch my landscape dear
When it will be I don't know yet, my printer isn't working right
He's spitting all pics in reddish glow, that's not a pretty sight
I think I'll put them on cd and go to the local copyshop
Funny how things find a way when you encounter a custom cop


If you wanna see my portfolio, you can find it on usefilm.com, search for my name in community/members



Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

You get your kicks
From taking pics
Then taking pics again.

You have, I'll bet,
What it takes to get
Attention from the men.

Wherever you go
As we all know
Men follow you like sheep

Be careful, ma'am
That, like the ram,
They give promises they can't keep!

Hearty congrats, Dutchie! We've all seen your pics and they are definitely worthy of an exposition..apparently so are you!!!

Congratulations, Titia!  Had you not come to Passions, learned how to post your photos and mix them with poetical pennings, do you think this could have happened otherwise?  We're so proud of you!  And now, Passions unfolds yet again to your countrymen [and women]....

Hugs!

Titia,
Cool! I love it. Hope you have fun at your exposition... Hey, I responded to some of your pics. Nicely done.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Sue, I will, but custom officers are harmless

Balladeer, LOL following me like sheep? Wish they did! But I can asure you, I pick my men very, very carefully and you know what's going to happen to the ram, so those bad guys better look out

Sunshine, since I got this digital camera I got hooked and PIP certainly contributed, as well did the photo site, but I already had made a picture/poem book in Dutch as a give away present.

Nan, LOL wonder if that 'ol' man is still waiting for me to come fishing

Marge, I definitely was, they scared the hell out of me at first. LOL wondering if this man is still telling stories about those two ladies who kissed him.

Suthern, I'll give you a clue if I had one

Krystopher, nice to meet you and welcome to this big family, thanks

Larry, I'm so thrilled you became a member of usefilm, loved you picture mucho dear friend, we'll be seeing each other quite often I guess. Great picture you got there.

Hey everybody, go see Larry's pictures at usefilm.com (choose member and then search for his name)

Noah, you always are my sweetest Angel.

Ethel, I certainly will put some poems in. That's the top of the cream, merging poetry into photography.

I'll let you know when it's there friends.

Titia
