New paintings and regular art updates.
Well I don’t like this swinging line
To other users it might be fine
But irritating I think it is
To see stats displayed like this
It gives me vertigo like I’ve drunk wine!
…….
Oops! They are there! You have to slide the screen sideways!
One day I want to see
Shimmering Northern lights
Lighting up the sky
The Aurora Borealis, bright.
Green or red or white…
Different colours, different elements
Curtains of particles
Flying on Earth’s magnetic field
Falling to land at the poles
Glowing glory
Suns power manifested in air
My bucket list wish.
Seen in England last week
But hidden by clouds….
Glass bright
Transparent
Light
Sparkle and shine
Malleable
Ground, sand
Melted silica
Moulded and pressed
Strong and brittle
Cast and blown
Overwhelmed
By its beauty
What do you do?
Stuff belongs to you
Full of metals
Thrown away
Digital devices
PC’s, Tablets, phones….
Lithium? Tantalum?
Rare earth metals
I don’t know
Dig up gold
Bury it in landfill?
Repair and recycle
Use our resources
Sensibly, sparingly
Safely….
Plonked down
on a bath towel
On a mat
There’s the cat
In a basket snug
Like a bug in a rug!
Paws over nose
Or tail across his face
They will find any place
To snuggle
Or be cuddled
Sleep 16 hours
Glad he’s ours!

Oh I keep scrolling down the page
Facebook posts are all the rage
Never ending thoughts and hopes
I don’t know how anyone copes!
Addicted to that vertical scrolling
Dragging my eyes, they keep rolling!
Bits and bobs, this and that
Someone’s thin someone’s fat.
A work of fiction or of fact
But intelligent thinking is what’s lacked?
Sometimes serious causes emerge
But often it’s just a tawdry surge
Of endorphins keeping me awake
Switch it off. For goodness sake!
Argh! I’ve been out all afternoon working on some paperwork and I got really tired. I should have gone out this evening, but I fell asleep and woke up a while ago, feeling dazed and confused as the saying goes. I don’t feel like going for a walk, I think I’m allowed a rest. I feel very guilty, but if I fall asleep I must be tired? I know I shouldn’t miss things but I couldn’t help it. Now I feel like sleeping again. I should write a limerick!
Please forgive my tardy brain
I should go out, but what a pain!
I just fell asleep
My dreams to keep
I want to go to sleep again!
Closed eyes against the sunshine
Dazzled in the low sun
He came in for five minutes
Ate some food
Said hello
Then off he goes
Enjoying the afternoon, bright
In the brilliant, illuminating light.
Oh you sweet cat
One belly rub required
To make him happy
But beware the claws
That protect his tummy
From your intrusion
Be careful
Or you may lose your hand!
Grey man,
Carved stone
Oak leaves
And acorns
Sculpted from granite
A Robin
Might peck at you
Ivy entwine you
Algae wrap you in green
Lichen inhabit you
Stone you are
Soil you may become
With age and ice
Weather and water
Till ground into a powder
You are amalgamated
And your stone face
Is incorporated
Transformed and metamorphosised
Into a real tree.
