Fwd: [MC74 and Friends] shadows


BiTi, TNS,

If you're going to have a diapo for Shadows, may I request The shadow of your smile with Tony Bennett and Juanes?

Since EmCi once said to me không đóng góp thì không có lời bàn, here's a late entry with help from my daughter Clarissa.

  1. Hello Mai Uyen

    As flowingly suave, silky smooth as Tony Bennet and Juane's vocals in "Shadow of Your Smile", such a lovely, charming poem,
    an airy, breezy ode to the ever elusive Shadow,
    a very poetic yet visually moving illustration of the theme
    the alluring picturesque sight in the fleeting, fading moments of time

  2. Little sis,
    Thanks for your lovely entry with the equally lovely illustration from my niece.
    It was a good thing that you didn't know that I already sent this Tony Bennett and Juane's version of the song to BiTi for the diapo, otherwise, we wouldn't have your entry :-) I happen to like this version the most too.

    PS: now you and Clarissa can work on Teacups :-)

  5. BiTi, TNS, Quang, EmCi,

    Thank you. The poem was inspired by BiTi's pics of the crane. The thought of that crane had stuck in my head ever since BiTi sent out the first pic a while back. Perhaps because we usually see cranes in large flocks or in pairs, seeing just the one reminds me of separation - the inevitability of it and the heartbreak that comes with it.

      I've been running a little ragged; it's good to take a break and have some fun.
