October has seen a new beginning for me ..... trying my hand at poetry. Prior to this past week I have only written half a dozen haiku style poems but in the past 8 days I have managed to write several poems in other styles. To celebrate my new passion I have started a new blog where I can post my poetry and 'marry' each piece with one of my paintings as decoration!
I hope that my FFF (faithful few followers) will enjoy and follow this new blog that I have called Light and Dark ..... hope to see you there!

A new poem
The way things are
There comes a time
This much I know
When a mind feels like resting
And I ain't suggesting
That this is wrong
- just my way of protesting
The way things are
Things don't last long
This much I know
And my mind keeps on saying
Stop your crying and praying
Don't make no sound
- just my way of delaying
The way things are
There is a way
This much I know
Be it standing and staring
Be it doing and daring
You'll take my hand
- you'll be smiling and sharing
The way things are

Letting Go .... a poem
Letting Go
This cold, cold earth
Last resting place
I heard your voice
You kissed my face
Then all was gone
Without a trace
In cold, cold earth
You kissed my face
Then all was gone
Without a trace
In cold, cold earth

Re-cycling (old into new yet again!)
So out with the white gesso and she disappeared (sorry Mel), presenting me with a nice blank canvas. I had added texture prior to attempting the portrait and of course that still remains.
My current idea is to try a semi-abstract of poppies ... recent events, plus a centenary year of WW1, is effecting my mind-set somewhat!
Whether or not this will turn out how I want is always another matter entirely!

A Reversal and a Commendation!
I decided that I liked "Patina" better turned the other way up then entered it into the Otago Art Society Spring Exhibition. I see on their website that I have received a Commendation!! Very satisfying.
