A reverence for trees - a silk scarf of green, brown and red
4 May 2016
Being an "open air artist" means that I have to suffer the ridicule of those around me, the odd looks and second glances of people who can't possibly imagine what on earth a grown man might be doing grovelling about on the forest floor, or floating little leaves on the river. But imagining is just exactly what I am doing. The challenge is to plunge on regardless.........
your imagination
allows you to create
some thing
out of no thing
personal stuff from bits of this
and a remnant of that
a fragment of something you saw here
a gossamer thread
from a fleeting thought
that whispered through your head
when a pretty girl ushered passed
an autumn leaf
sighing green and red
dizzied down from way up high
by a tree relaxing
in the autumn rush
so spare a thought
for the embarrassed artist
gathering up the leaves
with hope
and her silk scarf
of green, brown and red
conjuring up this
from a bit of that
