Early morning trip;
warm smells of the bakery
wake the living dead.

Red skies
A chocolate box sky
teases desire and wonder
before the rain comes.

Family fishing
trip ends without any fish;
a lesson for life?

High spires and bunting

27. Rosemundy, St Agnes
Strictly speaking this is street art, because it is a painting on a street, however it is likely to be a precursor to the rather more edgy stuff we are used to these days.
This small mural was painted by an artist, Tony Giles who lived in St Agnes from 1961 until his death in 1994. Originally from Taunton in Somerset he was known for his landscapes.
I wonder if he lived in the house behind the wall where this mural is.
The figure always reminds me of the cartoon ‘Pearly Kings’ in Mary Poppins.
I like it.

Reminded
When a rainbow comes
I remember my cousin
who died much too young.

26. Churchtown, St Agnes
This brilliantly executed street art is one of my favourites of its type. Simple, witty and anarchic. I wrote a Haiku about it a little while ago.
There is not a lot of street art or even graffiti in this part of Cornwall, so this is a bit of a rarity
There is no point in trying to find out who did it, as I think it is a creative one-off.

Habitual addiction
Much disappointment,
decaf coffee left at home;
have to go without.

West
The wind in my face,
dreaming of sandy beaches;
I make for Cornwall.

Waiting
Doctor’s waiting room
is no place for having fun;
somber and silent.
