Happy Thursday Readers. Joining in with Norm and his Door Crew for this first week of may 2019. Go HERE to join in Norm’s photo challenge or to see more entries this week.
Today I bring you doors – and a bit more more – from Charlottesville, Virginia.
In closing, last month, April, was national poetry month and I was too busy with Lady by the River book promos (here) – and was also busy sharing about Art and Chairs (ha) – so I did not get to any poems.
However, now there is time for a little poetry – and so let’s close this post with some Emily Dickinson poetry.
Here are two of her poems with “doors” mentioned. Side note – Dickinson did not title most of her poems – she mastered them and tucked them away into drawers – and so to reference her work, they gave her poems numbers and also use the first line of the poem as the title.
Hope you have a great rest of the week and weekend – 🙂

Figure)

This neighborhood has few quite diversified home styles. I really the first door and the house. The curve roof above the door is very nice. The house has long and fill most of the side of the house relatively. That is an interesting ratio. I can imagine that should give plenty of light and make you feel spacious.

Quite a variety of doors there, Yvette. I like the red door. Maybe a bit too much shade for me around that after-downsizing house, but it’s attractive. I do love Emily Dickinson, so thanks for the poems.

Good selections! In doors and poems, of course.
Seeing that green house in the green landscape surprised me. Prior to that photo, I would have thought I wouldn’t like it. I mean, I considered this for my own house, especially considering moss that grows 😉 But my landscape is lush like that. My house is yellow and the people next door painted a yellow tan last summer… made me feel like ours wasn’t as special and I should go a different route… Yellow is my favorite… but I would consider green after seeing that home.

Wow – what copycats – and we know it is a free country (just watched a movie that flash-backed to early 80s and they were saying “it’s a free country isn’t it? – remember when that was used a lot?) but I can see why the special
Vibe was pulled on (and it is a compliment as well – but still…)
And I have never seen such green on green like that either – and was surprised by it too –
good luck with your next color choice…

Thank you for brining these Emily poems to light. I particularly loved the first door photo. The yellow and red really grab me. I sometimes give writing workshops to young people. I think your door photos would make a great story prompt.
