New paintings and regular art updates.
Notes bright and fast,
now slow and low,
up and down and round.
Vibrating strings,
music arching about.
Liquid notes,
that hold the mind
In thrall of sorrow or beauty.
Such wonderful feelings
stirred by movement,
bow drawn over strings.
Takes mind in hand
a merry dance
all through the land,
We jump and prance,
gives joy to all around!
Black cat,
Gleaming eyes,
Soft, sleek fur,
Happy purr.
Golden irises,
White whiskers,
Ears switched on,
To every sound?
Staring out,
To catch sight
Of birds flying,
Mice walking
Past the window,
Cat inside,
Bird and mice outside.
Happy me x
Oh wish tree, oh wish tree.
What can you do for me?
Can you turn the world around?
Can you make my life more sound?
Wish tree, wish tree
Make the world more clean and free,
Give the poorest food to eat,
Take away all cruelty.
Cool the worlds excessive heat.
Make compassion mandatory.
Ask the rich to balance out
The split between them and the poor
Make them pay a small amount,
Wish tree let them pay some more,
To make reducing poverty count.
That is all I really want.
Wish tree let my wishes free,
Give a chance for you and me.
Leap up and fly
In the sky
Searching round
About the grounds
Of ancient house
Or garden, green
Faries fly.
They’re rarely seen…
They find the flowers,
Chase the wasps
Feed the bees
Have fairie tasks
Grooming beetles
Catching frogs
To ride around
The lake and ponds.
Never seen by mortal men.
They live in a fairie glen.
Enough of whimsy
My tale is done
The story, flimsy
But lots of fun.

Tick tock,
I like a clock,
that tells the time,
and rings a chime.
A clicking tick
a sticking tock
the fingers dance
around the face.
An hour is all
It takes to go
from One to Two,
and so, and so.
Till round the face
the fingers tick,
and Midnight passes
into new day.
I keep watching cat videos and gifs
They cheer me up
And lift my gloom
Watching kitty’s
Chase round a room.
Jumping high
And leaping up,
Dogs get chased
And cats erupt
From stairways
Hallways
Up curtains
And onto of doors.
Cats abound
With barely a sound
Make me smile
And
Forget a while.
Can you know how I feel?
The fog that ties me down?
The tight knots in my head,
A lack of wanting to do things.
My mind wanders away to rest.
Huddled in grey mist,
Finding solace in thought.
Do you know what I can do?
How I can break my bonds.
Feel lightened by relief?
A choice of turning in and tuning out.
Or hold tight until life returns….
Freeing me from these thoughts.
Your whiskers are lovely
Your personality?
Bubbly…
Come say hello
With a loud miaow!
Cat with cattitude?
A great attitude.
Attempting to sniff
And find out, what if?
I have a tasty snack,
for your tea!
You glitter and gleam in the light,
Swimming in your tank,
How I wish,
You could be free…
Fish!
What’s in a cage,
and what is a cage?
Are we trapped in a net,
or free?
Are we birds in cages
or enclosed by space?
How big is your cage?
Can you walk across a room?
Are their bars on your window?
Is there no way out.
No bus,
no car?
Are you stuck in your mind?
Many cages exist,
some are visible,
some are in your mind…
