Picture of the Day
This picture seemed to have captured the Sunday audience. I have various potential orders for it and was even approached by Selwyn Milborrow, Eastern Cape poet, who wrote a poem about it.
I am glad that people are taking these pictures seriously and to heart and respond to them like Selwyn did...the poem will here:

eclipse
(a poem without pretence)
you with sunblock in your eyes –
are you the moon poets write about
an orphan from
or just a child abused
in corners not spoken of
are you the tree that lost
it’s leaves to autumn’s
penetrating hands
maybe you are just a child
carrying the beauty of us
in you
how i wish i could tell
you of the love
i carry for you, child
with the weight of words
in your silenced voice
