On being a poet and a photographer

by TigerLily13

Spilled ink. Old film. Crumpled paper. The click of a shutter. Pens dying. Wiping lenses. Flashlights under the covers. Struggling with a tripod. Daydreaming. The Rule of Thirds. Tattered pages. Beautiful sunsets. Coffee shops. Skittish animals. 3 am. Cropping. Always thinking. The horizon line. The frantic search for pen and paper. Frustrated with trying to capture the beauty of the world In a small package.

Notes

HP won't let me change the words, but the "poet" things are supposed to be bolded, and the "photographer" things are italicized. The final line is italicized and bolded.
