Painting Stars
At B&Ps Shadorma and Beyond we’re getting our inspiration from a poem by Robert Fagles and Starry Night by van Gough
~
I must learn
to paint starry nights
blend daylight
into dusk
with each brushstroke banish dark
until I feel hope

Build Up
Let’s learn from
the past
spite and envy
slowly crumble our
foundations
we gradually collapse
under their burden
Let’s build each other up
bit by bit
word by word
creating a future
of peace

Form for All; The Clerihew at D’Verse Poets Pub

If dining with Andrew Zimmern
your stomach just might start to churn
he slurps fish lips from mugs
and eats pig ears,hoofs, and big bugs
Downtown Color
No Lady
In the Garden today we are finding inspiration in a poem by Ellen Kort
—-
She’s No Lady –
she rudely pushed her
way into the room
uninvited
unwelcome
she claimed she had
an appointment – then
pointed a long bony finger at
the frail woman in the bed
and hissed, “you’re coming with me”
over our protests she snatched
up the woman, laughed coarsely
and they vanished
