I am a rock

The poetic process of personification comes into play when we take a closer look at a series of photos featuring water running over rocks. Discussion of word and image, plus a poem by Emily Dickinson -- more thoughts, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Rock sequence

The effusion
rambling in the midst
of each calm center
refuses to overturn its firm
decree of solidity:
each forbears
and shifts no more than
a facet's breath,
hardly seeming to yield
but to fortify
in each burnished appeal
to the unrelenting
flow and course, the
mistress of its wear.
