Poem: Muriel Has Died In Canada.

Muriel Has Died In Canada.

.

.

I remember you well,

Although I best saw you

When I was a child.

You spent a whole afternoon once

Combing out my long hair

Then plaiting it in tiny braids

Which you piled up on my head

Like a queen’s tiara.

Question.

Nellleo ( Nelly?),

And what is the excellent picture behind the ‘blond with the big eyes and the blue bird’ info?

    Hey Jaksie! I just saw this :)

    i am behind that photo :) I was writing twitter guidelines for work at the time, and ended up going koukou when I saw the knit bird that resembled the twitter identifiers.

    How are you not on twitter yet! Talk to Mr. T – I’m sure you’ll get addicted in two seconds !

    Hey Nelly,

    You are spoiling me with two messages in one day.

    I love the picture with the bird….it is inspired!
    I was also totally blown away with the moody photo behind it all and the amazing colour tones.

    Since then I looked at the photographs on your site and found ‘Haunted By Failure’, ‘Picadilly theatre’ and ‘Storytime’ most compelling.

    Also the texture and muted colours of’Sunflower Bakery’….and the rest.
    Then there is ‘Ruralscape In Time’, ‘Perth In Time’ and ‘Burton-like Spiderwebs’.

    Beautiful works of art.
    You should be showing in a gallery.
    Keep it up!
    J,x.

    awww! thanks so much Jackie! Means a lot to me coming from someone who has genuinely interesting works.

    maybe I’ll visit the next showing you hold for your art ;)

    cheers-
    nelly.
