Un grand PHO est le grand prix pour celui/celle qui identifie toutes les boutiques/galleries et leurs emplacements. Allons les zamis Parisiens, surement vous les placez? Chiche!

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] my entries for Through the window

Dear fellows pho' nhom\, hoa si~ , thi si~ en herbe and forum friends,

Here are my two entries for the theme Through the windows.

My first entry is entitled Lady Liberty looking out the window.

I was walking down 5th Avenue on Friday,
When I saw her, Lady Liberty.
She was standing in a Souvenir shop,
With her torch, amidst mountains of T-Shirts 
Looking out the window at the passers-by,
And the rain, and the grey and cloudy sky
With her sad and beautiful eyes.


My second entry is entitled NY look and reflections

Enjoy your weekend
From be^n bo*\ so^ng (nhu*ng kho^ng say so'ng :-))

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] More pictures on the "Through The Window" theme

Hi BiTi, Em Ci and all pho nhom,
Sorry for the late submissions but I just found these two shots that
should fit the topic quite well.
The first is a picture of our patio back in Massachusetts in the early
spring (Ah, we really miss that house, now that we're in Chicago). The
second is a shot taken just this past New Year's of our friend Di
Binh's spectacular backyard, particularly in the early morning fog.
You guys change themes so fast, it's hard to keep up! I'm working on
the "Shoes" theme now, but I suspect the ladies on the forum may have
a slight advantage over the guys on this topic. Anyway, enjoy!

Fw: my additional entries for water, etc....

Title of my photo: Be^n bo*\ so^ng lie^u~ ru~. Somehow, looking at the photo, I felt that a Vietnamese title fitted better the poetic, but in a very Asian way, scenery.    I remember sitting by the river that day to take the photo, wishing that it was a moonlit evening...

Title of my photo: what else but "Raise the red lanterns" :-) It seemed that the view of these old houses adorned with red lanterns did remind some of us of Zhang Yimou's movie, right Doc Awake?

Another entry for shoes

The story of the frame and the little clogs

I brought these tiny little clogs back from Portugal, for the longest time they sat on the bookshelf collecting dust… then one Christmas the frame came ‘on’ a white elephant (gift exchange).  It sat down on the bookshelf next to the little clogs and … WHAM … one look at each other (that’s all it took), and they decided to stay glued together forever after :-)

Don’t you think they are a good match? :-)

Since the theme of the week is shoes, I thought I’d introduce them to you and to share with you a bit of my little clogs’ country of origin with a song from the young up and coming fadista Ana Moura at

Enjoy!

Late submission on the theme of "Shoes"

Sorry for the late submission but P-Anh gave me a great idea for the Shoes theme last night. Here it is: "Sixties Go Go Boots"! (It's also a little hommage to our own Francoise Hardy look-alike, the wonderful EmCi). Hope it meets the standard of our tough Siskel & Ebert team.

So Special Lucky Luke

 

Dear Kiu, BiTi, MC, friends,

Thank you for the subtle reminder.  I’m so flattered to be mentioned in the same breath as Kiu as a critic.  The truth of the matter is that I’m light years behind and will never be on the same par.  But since I’m diec khong so+. su’ng and just for the fun of it as Quang mentioned, what the heck.  Unfortunately, I’ll be buried deep in work the next few weeks and just like at MC and college, I’ll skip and miss some of your assignments and hopefully still pass with a barely “passable” grade at the end.  But unlike at MC and college, I will surely enjoy watching and reading your works.

So to borrow and few verses from one of my all time favorite songs and Sir Elton John:

I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling winds of Texas
Looking for the flowing black oil

Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Well within the white cotton fields L

RE: [MC74 and Friends] Photo on the theme of "Water"

"Broad reach!"

And, so, just like that, with the wind filling our sails, on we went, towards the bay waters! 

Faraway, you can see the haze covering the mountains. The recent California forest fires from up north have spread their smokes down to cover our land.

This photo is dedicated to my seconde C8, premiere C4, and TC3 classmate Tran Ha Tuan, as an invitation to adventure, one of these days, when the wind is just a little warmer, yes Tuan?

The photo is not quite complete without this:

Many thanks, for bringing back lots of memories.

My best,

Duc

PS:  "Broad reach is a technical term, a point-of-sail, perhaps the equiv of full-speed"

Photo on the theme of "Water"

I was hoping the Twins would not notice my absence on the theme of Water but no such luck! So, since I do have today off and have a chance to go through my photo archives, here's my belated submission: "Kayaking into The Sunset", taken a few years ago in....where else? Hawaii.

My photo entries for this week theme SHOES

Title:  "Yesteryear!"

Just a snapshot that i took some time ago, while resting against a tree.  The brown grassland and rounded oak trees are typical of California in the summertime.  Bored with my camera, didn't know what to do --> but it did come out with a little bit of peace and quiet of a bucolic scene, as i remember it.  Missing some birds chirping and leaves rustling.  Thinking about years past, times camping with loved ones, children running etc --> hence the title.

Poesie En Herbe

Nhìn Trộm

Qua khung cửa mằt ngời tôi đã thấy em
Bâng khuâng em ve vuốt một mảnh trời đã khuất
Tay nhẹ nhàng xua những áng mây ngang
Chân dặt dìu vùi bãi cát hồn tôi

Trầm Tư

Một chút nhạc, một chút tình
Thi vị đời người nào hiếm hoi
Từng câu hát nặng trĩu những âm thầm
Bao lặng lẽ chứa chan rừng kỹ niệm
Trầm lắng ôn hoài những gì đã mất


Độc Thoại

Đã bao lần
Duỗi chân
Tôi soi mặt khung cửa thẳm miên man
Trộm nhìn những chiều tàn tình con nít bay đi
Yêu phố hè ngập bóng nắng vô tư
Vẫn vơ nhung nhớ vài mảnh tình lẩm cẩm
Xa lạ, những thân xác đói, những thây ma
Bao ánh mắt hỏa châu thiêu rụi
Thưở ấy tim tôi rướm mặt trời

Ảo mộng đã quên, bán đi hay cho không?
Nay còn miệng đắng những hoài bão cát trôi
Con rạch nào sẽ đưa đến chân trời ?
Ngoài kia mặt trời đã ngấm tắt.
