Here be dragons

 

The mystery of

form and function stimulates

the thinkers to think.

Winds of change

 

We go through the hoops

nobody said we had to;

change the paradigm.

286. The Bearpit (22)

There is something very pleasing about walking around the city looking for interesting things and making discoveries. Every now and then you see a real gem that shines so brightly but others do not seem to see. It is not a gift, but at times it feels like one.

This is a beautiful and refreshing piece that recently appeared in the Southern tunnel of The Bearpit. I am guessing, but I have little to go on that this drawing/pastel? is by Yvette Byrd. The only clue I have is in the tiny paste up at the bottom right, with a beautiful poem and signature. I have googled Yvette Byrd, but nothing relevant comes up.

So I must enjoy this piece for what it is rather than the celebrity of its creation. Maybe more work will appear and the pieces of the jigsaw come together. This piece says to me ‘dare to be different’. Somebody new trying something new.

Chaos

 

It began with the

kiss of a butterfly wing

unleashing the storm.

Old sly

 

Planting out on the

allotment being watched; I

turn, he slinks away.

Summer afternoon

slumber abruptly ended

by a hungry cat.

Juliet

 

A tender kiss is

all I ever wanted; my

lost romantic heart.

May the best team win

 

The best of friends…the

worst of enemies, go in

to battle today.

Crows

 

Guardians of my

soul, they wait patiently for

my death, cackling.

  • cackling – 3 syllables?

 

I’ve never seen that before

 

‘Boof’ a softened thud

beside me; thirty foot fall,

a squirrel scuttles.
