Photography Thoughts

This' certificate of participation in the contest "The movements of the soul" which I attended with three poems I write for me, If you want to be my friend and Questions from the heart.
For information on the final evening of the event you can read here: PositanoNews .
I was not present among the few poets I know and that 'plaintiff was viewed "If you want to be my friend."
The mechanism of the event was that each author had to vote for the resolution that most 'had hit him.
The authors did not present any case of a voting office. I received 3 votes.
It 's not the first competition I took part but' the first that, in addition to the finalists and reported, alerts and shares it with everyone else.
I wanted to thank Chao told me that the contest and the architect Maria Rosaria Manzini, curator of the exhibition, which I always answered all my questions and dispelling the contrary, thanks, for the criticism which I have described.

Now let the "word" on the evening who lived it.

"Spring evening a few meters from the sea with tourists turning, some head to the Museum of Positano trip.
Are not tourists, but poets, called the event "The movements of the Soul", a 'initiative came to the second edition,
that received and confirmed a close interest and, considering the location and population of the country, also quite large.
44 poets will present their "movements of the soul", "photo" of their moods or feelings aroused by events or thoughts.
Someone absent, certainly forced, but the presence was made almost tangible by his words assigned to read a young actor in the company of Murattori.
Souls of all ages: children, adolescents and gentlemen s elderly and representing a good part of Italy and also some foreign countries, reading with feeling that they put on white sheets.
Two poems read by poets recited by actors and a present for those who could not be there.
From a spectator, some difficulties to follow the sound of all the readings. It would have been nice to have the lyrics for Do not miss words in a poem is never useless or unnecessary.
Every six poems, a little musical interlude, that could reflect and order in mind as heard.
Long poems like little stories and arguments among the most diverse. It has often been referred to the country, perhaps by those who are far from him or his life: the sea, the fishermen, the moon. Many poems dedicated to loved ones, other people who have left their mark in history.
The evening runs quietly, in the atmosphere that only the love for culture and sentiment can create.
When all the feelings were expressed, while the present is refreshed at a small buffet, poets are occupied by the vote.
Each of them will express three preferences, the present is not given a vote "representation", so even game.
Even with these poets would not like to judge, but ... it was right that was a conversation between experts.
A teacher of Rome, before the awards, talks about haiku: compliance, explains them, reads a few. Many in the room already knew them, maybe someone just did not know what this brief form Espesso Japanese. Rewards some haiku of schoolchildren who followed his lectures and in short, learned to write these little poems.
The poets are careful, it's time to read the chosen ones. Someone still air has served at the buffet, but many remained seated in their place, apparently including the moment.
Third Place: Clare Baistrocchi, high school in Naples, with a poem inspired by the sea: "Me and the Sea"
Second place: Vincent Russo, the province of Naples, with a long text in dialect dedicated to Karol Woitila: "A vuluntà 'and God, Karol' na
pen 'on my mana. "
Winner John speaks, girl in her early twenties of Positano, with "I ..".
His desire to live intensely, to live well, to be and not to adapt, went through the desires expressed in "I" ...
And 'passed the sincerity of hope and the hope of those who (still?) Believes in the commitment to live.
The three finalists in a ceramic pot, all participants, including absent, a certificate of participation.
The evening ends with the audience for the lift home with some nice emotion more to talk about.
For poets and organizers, a dinner together, people who were not known in most cases, but that certainly will know what to talk and be heard together and rehearsed in sharing their common passion.
For all the appointment in a few months, in a late summer evening, to take in hand the tangible result of this experience: the book that will collect all the poems submitted and some brief notes on the authors.
Will be another special attention to the spirit.
The poets who could not read their works in April, can do so on this occasion and the "movements of the soul, the" picture thoughts "will again be protagonists.
In conclusion, a special evening, before the chaos of tourism and summer activities place pressure; an evening of reflection, an evening of culture that can only do good to anyone, including positive and that fact will come up with some poems from a drawer closed for some time. - Chao "

offer me a coffee ... if you like what I write .... and to do live site. Thanks
