There's only one DPC member with the ability to consistently make poetry from the scraps that others throw away, so if you aren't John M then you are a disgraceful pretender and you may as well cease immediately because you'll never last the course. It's a one man race I'm afraid. It's an automatic 7+ pick for me. Thank you.

The sound of one cactus clapping falling in the desert, a very crowded solitude and worth the listen.

I like this because it's so witty (in part via the title), and because it's such an original photograph, so perfectly composed and cropped to suit that whimsical reference. I also like the lightness of the rendering, where strength and assurance comes from apparent weakness and understatement: very Japanese! So it's the Order of the Thumb for you, and a thank you for the fascinating photograph.

This image attracts like a magnet. The more I look, the more I get immersed in it. Derisively titled, it has its own timeless drama.
