Roses

Metallic paint on black paper

Pale roses with red edges

Starting to fade

And fall

Soon your petals will drop

The vase emptied

Water poured away

Paint can fade too

Lost in a sketchbook

Somewhere in my mind.

Mask

Wear a mask they said

Blue is good, they said

I chose this one

With a sea theme on…

But cover your mouth

For when you breathe out

Don’t breathe the germs

That the air returns.

So I scrapped this mask

Got a blue one for the task

Made of papier-

Mache!

Purple

Shall I colour my hair purple?

Shall I cover the grey?

Replace the silver with a violet hue,

Like old ladies

Have their hair coloured blue?

Doodle an idea,

Just to see

But the drawing

Looks nothing like me!

A is for Apple

In a crazed,

cracked bowl

Sits an Apple

Green and crunchy

Ready to eat

Crisp skin

Flecked with gold.

Sharp tasting

But sweet

Glistening

Delicate

Tiny, white.

Hint of pink

Shades of green

Soft yellows

Dots of paprika orange

On a denim background.

Green stems

Hold them together

Like a couple holding hands….

Digital sketch filtered through photodirector.

I decided to write a verse
Which might seem rather perverse..
I'm learning the ropes 
For knowledge I grope. 
About WordPress block editor
And I might need a mediator?
It's like very heavy rain
It can be an absolute pain! 
Storm clouds gather 
I'm in a lather
Maybe I should write this again? 
Is there anything at all to gain.....

Trees, huge trunks

Boughs, branches

Twigs,

Delicate traceries

Lace like patterns

Phloem and Xylem

Made of cellulose

Built of cells

Transpiring

Building blocks

Architecture

Church spires

Dendrochronology

Splendid plants.

Like Candyfloss

Bursting from branches

Pink and effervescent.

What are you doing to me wordpress?

Posted on April 19, 2021 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Age, Art, automatic car?, Confused, gears, Life, Poem, Poetry, Thinking, too many buttons4 Comments

Are you turning into instagram?

What are all these new buttons?

Easier or more complex?

My brain is struggling

To keep up with unwanted changes!

I was driving with gears

Now you’ve given me an Automatic

taken away the clutch

but not told me where the brakes are!

Is that fair?

I’m a blogger

not a programmer

or coder

or whatever

these newfangled things are?

Thanks?

1/10 so far….
