Step By Step

 

I was browsing through the trinket cabinet yesterday and I found this piece of design work that I put together back when I got my first computer, a Dell I think.  

I knew very little about how to use a computer and so I spent a summer figuring out what it could do. I could not type and I still can't but I get by.

Through trial and error I managed to come to terms with it in a very limited way. My biggest fear was pressing the wrong button and breaking it.....or allowing a virus contaminate the works !

Looking at the parchment sheet with the sunset and tree brings me back to the great excitement I felt just using a simple programme to create this image as a background for the poem I had written.

 

By the shore of a bay

Stands a great maple tree.

There is a golden chain on that tree

Fastened to a ring of gold.

By day and by night

An ancient thinker walks ceaselessly

Around the tree

Bound by the chain.

As he moves to the left

He recalls a glimmering moment long past.

As he moves to the right

He gilds each falling leaf with 

Evening rays of sunshine gold.
