Every person has their own interests and talents. When I started the “Let’s Do More” challenge a few days ago, there were some friends who said they cannot join because they felt the challenge was asking for something that was not their talent. Doc Anderson is one of them. He didn’t join specifically with the challenge but in other ways. He has written poetry to replace his participation which later I’ve responded with poetry too, and so on. The following is part of our chat and poetry which departed from a black and white picture in my post a few days ago entitled Journey Trail with an image like the one above in black and white and written in my tutorial post. I edited the image to give a different feel to be displayed again in this post.
The Dialog
Impressive both the actual image and your tutorial on how to arrive. Sadly I do not have the talent to be a part of the challenge, but I will read and watch!

Are you joking that you have no talent? You? A man with millions of images and technology experts?
My art is poetry, visually I am challenged.
I just rewrote the title of this challenge here: “Let’s Do More”. Hehe…

That’s okay too… I’ll wait for your poem, Coach.
I will start working on it now. Well, at lunch today.
Yeah! I’m so happy with that!
I know that I shall never write
A poem
Anywhere near
As
Nice
As a tree.
Why are there people
plant beautiful trees
on someone else’s page?
They are the children
Whose empty swing
Now touches nothing
The ropes
Slowly
Rotting
No longer a swing
For it is not used
Just a memory of a tree that once was.
In the past
it is an interesting stop
source of joy
now obsolete has eaten it
make brittle
rotten
may have run out
eaten by the soil of era
but not all human children
who ever swung there
can go free from swing
to swing his life
in the swing of life now.
OK, that now that one the start of an amazing poetry. The image of “soil of era” eating the swing of childhood is haunting.

Tomorrow I will put your poem and me in a special post.

Nice! It is fun to collaborate and interact with you, sir!
Albert Herdianto Widjojo about 14 hours ago

Do you often talk or chat to fellow friends in Virily?

Yes

No

That was an interesting poetry chat.
Thanks for the compliment, my friend,
I interact with Alex the most, but I try to mingle in with a few other contributors once I clear my notifications out.
That’s great, Thomas. Our interactions here with one or more friends make us not alone in the global crowd, right?
Alex tends to keep the conversations flowing. Its like the conversation veers off towards a different topic, lol. I love the interactions, especially with Carol on my football posts. With that I try to gear some of my posts towards her favorite team, the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Yes, some friends here who like to interact do have a variety of different and interesting styles. I think, you also have the uniqueness of interacting here.
Feels great not being alone in the crowds.
You are very right, Thomas. Luckily for all of us who like to interact.
Your poetic chat with DocAndersen is so interesting!!! Unfortunately, often don’t have a lot of time to chat, but will try to do it!!!
Thanks. Because of that poem, I made it a separate post.
Yes, I like to chat with friends here because I want to know more about Virily members here.
I ended up joining today posting believe! I love this though! It is the joy of our community to talk and share all over the world!!!!!
I am very happy that you are finally willing to sweat to participate in the challenge.
Hahaha…
I used to interact with Alex Landate who is an artist.
You and I also interact well and positively so far. If I ask through this poll, I think it is slightly to encourage Virily members here to get to know other members better and build pleasant friendships.
That is a very good idea since I get ideas from hearing what other people have to say that I can use to improve my work as a blogger.
You are right, Dee. We do learn a lot from the interaction.
That is what makes life great.
well with You and Doc, why not. we are all here to interact. now we gossip about your interaction. haha!!!! no more secrets
You are also one of the best gossiping friends, it’s just that you haven’t written a poem for me as Doc did. Haven’t you promised to teach me?
i will teach you Thai, with my broken Thai lol .
you know that i am a helpless poet you can’t rely on me
I think every teacher is good at poetry because they have to teach it to students.
Yes I have interesting conversations daily on this site. The photo you have shared is beautifully done. I apologize for not participating in the challenge today, a lot going on. But I will work on it soon.
I agree with you. I think, actually, I also have conversations with many friends here, besides Doc, also with you, Alex, LaJenna, Alibb, Kim, Lado, Ellie, Deepizzaguy, Mavic, and others because I like trying to know and understand other people but this time Doc and I has wrote poems as ever did by Beada-beada and Bradley too.
About challenge, I think you have so much to do, so you should first thing first, Carol.
I read those comments, on the post. Amazing what you two wrote, he says he is visually challenge. BAh! I would have to disagree, and he did come up with the pumpkin chucker after all! Love this edit Albert. You have inspired me to one similar but in a different way. 😉
Hahaha … Let He adjust between the challenges with what he can do.
So glad that you got something from this post, Kim.
Most often, and I prefer chatting with you my friend
Yes, Of course, my friend. No doubt about it! You are one of my close great friends here. An I thank you for that.
It’s always nice to chat with you my friend…You are very curious and kind Albert
I’m glad I can be your friend
I’m also always happy to chat with you, Lado. Do you know why? Coz you are sincere and full of respect.
Thank you very much my friend…the same can be said for you, in short, a wonderful man … I’m happy that I can be your friend, even at a distance
Yes, it’s our uniqueness, close friends in a distance.
Nice Poetic interactions!!
🙂
Hey guys
this sage
has given millions of dollars
in the currency of attention
appreciation too.
Oh no, another high hat,
better not put it on
but glad with the appreciation
thank you, gentlemen
… 😕
I think you can collect all the hats until the amount is enough to sell.
LOL … unfortunately they disappear soon after I keep them in the wardrobe … :p
That means, for the next, you have to store it more neatly!
Yes, Sir!!
Affirmative!!
