Naked

 

Not a stitch to wear

nor anyone to love me;

injured and damaged.

Canine capers

 

Evicerated

animals scatter the floor,

stuffing tumbleweed.

Natural toy

 

Irresistible

a small wind-blown leaf tumbles

across the pavement

drawing the puppy away

from sniffing grubby lampposts.

496. Dean Lane skate park (26)

This wonderful scene was created back in October by Sled One, in conjunction with a piece by Ments which I wrote about a little while back. It seems that Sled One has an endless energy and talent for conceiving and executing some of the most imaginative street art in Bristol. His style is quite cartoony and injected with humour, and as I have said before, there always seems to be a story going on in his pieces.

I’m not sure what the story is, but it includes one of those really irritating toy clockwork monkeys with clashing cymbals which is beautifully portrayed. In addition, the wisps of steam from the cup of tea are masterfully painted. There is some real quality about this piece. Sled One never seems to disappoint. This is in my view exceptional street art.

Second life

 

Abandoned but not

without hope; tides will carry

me to a new life.

Lost

 

A little longer

Just a little longer and

She’ll come back for me.

I don’t care

I don’t give a fig

I couldn’t give a monkey’s

I just want to hang.

Changes

 

Tired of childish games

Dolly cuts loose, adventures

on the horizon.
