New paintings and regular art updates.
Shimmering silver and gold,
Flicker in the sunshine,
catching erratic mayflies.
Slipping down the stream,
glinting and glimmering,
Sun and shade stripes of branches,
camouflaged and hidden
above the pebbled bed.
Leaping and jumping
flying fish for a second
mid air,
then like raindrops falling,
back into the crystal clear,
cold, brisk, water…
Well it’s a Swan,
No its a dragon?
Can’t you see its tail.
Welsh dragon?
Maybe…
One front leg raised up,
Waiting to greet its friend
The Unicorn.
when I was a child
I watched Dr Who
I hid behind the settee,
I was scared of Daleks
Monsters scared me
The Icemen
The cybermen
Fighting in space
And on Earth..
Dr Who
Sci fi hero…!
This model Dalek was at Froghall Station a couple of years ago, if not more. It was wonderful to see. It was radio controlled. In the original series they were operated by men pedalling inside them and moving the weapons by hand. Nowadays they can climb steps in the modern series by hovering above them. But not in the 1960’s. I watched this classic TV series from the start. I wish I could time travel back then.

Sometimes I just try to write random poems using the middle word of the suggested words on my screen… It can be interesting, or just plain weird. Here goes…..
X and I will try and get it done for you,
tomorrow morning,
and the rest of the week
after the rest of the week,
after the rest of the….
I need to get my head round,
the back of the building,
and get the detail and shading correct
on the way to the airport
to get the computer set up.
So I can take over the role
of the rest of the team,
at the end of the week
after the rest of the week,
after the rest of the week……
I need to get my Xperia by Sony today
and tomorrow from 10 till 4.
Tomorrow morning,
and the rest of the week
after the rest of the week…..
I will try and get it done
for the Brampton tomorrow morning
and the rest of the week
after the rest of the week…..
(the rest of the week seems quite important in this one)
Sun rising,
Light streams,
Illumination,
Bright dreams.
Light shining,
Night flees.
Dawn breaks,
Cold breeze.
Skies and mirrors,
sun and snow.
Branch and leaf,
Christmas views.
Winter shining
light and star,
Moonlit glowing
Glimmer far.
Powdered frosts
Mackerel skies,
Blue and white,
Black, green and grey.
Reflected world
Earth settled,
serene
seen
See.
We have two cats, one basket.
Someone thinks it’s his,
someone thinks it’s hers!
Cat fight! Shock horror!
no harm done, fun had,
chasing round, playing tag,
one great game.
No fur flying….
No scratches or harm..
Bouncing round the room.
Leaping, flying,
cats death defying!
Why can’t I get things done?
I think and think,
Decide, then change my mind.
I wait till the time seems right,
Then miss acting on it.
Why? because I spend time thinking.
Then I think again…….
Too much to do, too little time?
But if I just started early…
Wasn’t so desperate to be perfect.
Took less thought and acted sooner.
Maybe then I could
Get
Things
Done!
But now…
I’m not lazy, not crazy, just hazy…
Stuck!
Time to drink?
Drink from a bowl? No,
Drink from a cup? No
Drink from a dish? No
The bath, it has to be the bath.
She sits and waits,
For me to put the plug in
Fill the bath slightly,
So she can drink…
My stats are plummeting,
I’ve sunk so low,
Life just got busy
My words don’t flow.
My stats have shrunk
My work rate slowed,
I have no time,
To carry this load.
I have to paint,
To carry and fetch,
Real life impinges
I feel a wretch.
Perhaps one say soon
I will catch up and say.
Today I have time,
To rest, write and play.
