A fitting tribute

to the girl who changed the world

a work in progress.

While the cats are out

two hours with a can in hand

I squeak with delight

Aphids

 

Tiniest fairies

dance in the evening sun

lime green destroyers.

The long knives are out

May’s early September comes.

The nasty party.

dozey rose chafers that crash

through the shrubbery.

  • I’ve finally set myself up with some boards in the garden and paint. This is going to be a very long and difficult journey. It is so difficult, and my admiration for the artists I write about has gone stratospheric. I thought I’d start with the alphabet, and see if repetition and practice get me anywhere. If, by the time I get to Z I have made no improvement, then I’ll hang up my boots, and accept that I am just not cut out for this. But if I don’t try, I’ll never know.
