A slip in the park
no harm, only dented pride
hope no one saw me

Ruben’s squeaky ball
a distressed squirrel squawking
chaka chaka crow.

Up on Redland Green
where an elderly couple
leave water for dogs.

Cold feet, muddy paws
white, numb fingers, muddy paws
ball games in the park.

A moment enjoyed
warm May sun scolds my trousers
while Ruben frolicks.

Dappled sunlight gives
Little warmth and trees little
Shelter from cold winds.

Time to introduce another Bristol based street artist whose work I have seen dotted all around Bristol. This is a very recent piece which I found while actually looking for something else, which seems to be de rigueur in hunting down street art.
The artist is called Mr Draws (Nathaniel Draws) and his various biographies state that he likes 1950’s pin ups, collage and everything old and vintage. He has one of those self-fulfilling names…he could only ever have become an artist. I work in the environmental sector, and have worked with a Wren, a Raven, a Fish, a Waters…the list goes on…I often wonder how much their name shaped a bias for wildlife/the environment. I am straying from the point. I will post more about Mr Draw’s works, which are refreshingly different.
A golden tide sweeps
in and children kick about
having fun; then rest.
