ALICE

she ate from a plate called EAT ME
and she grew up so tall.
she drank from a cup called DRINK ME
and down she shrank so small.

and so she changed
while other folk
never tried nothin’ at all.

Shel Silverstein

Got any photos that demand accompaniment–a poem, song lyrics, a quotation from some long-passed soul?

  1. Good morning Shutter Sisters

    So often i take a photo and when i look at it the feeling from that day comes back to me.

    This was a hot, balmy day with a really sleepy feel and the Jellyfish song ‘Russian Hill’ just kept playing through my head. Lyrics are underneath the photo

    Here is a quote that just fitted the picture.

    and one from a while ago when life was a bit hectic – i felt a bit like the photo, twisted and unstable – the lyrics are from a Blur song ‘Far out’. I thought the photo looked like a planet ‘hot in the milky way’.

  2. The weather demanded this photo- what a lovely day this is going to be!

    Before you met me I was a fairy princess
    I caught frogs and called them prince
    And made myself a queen
    And before you knew me I’d traveled ’round the world
    And I slept in castles
    And fell in love
    Because I was taught to dream

    I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
    To capture Tinker Bell
    And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
    But I could always tell

    Cause I believe in fairy tales
    And dreamer’s dreams
    Like bedsheet sails
    And I believe in Peter Pan
    And miracles, anything I can to get by
    And fireflies
