Don’t need the sea or the moon
to see this colour
Its there when I look in the mirror at me
Mirror
Mirror Man

Manchester, 7th October 2019
A tale of a street performer, inspired by Fandango’s Picture in the Flash Fiction Challenge
He Stands on his spot,
on the grass in the square,
doing his thing
while the others stare.
Today it is sunny,
so today – there’s a crowd
with his occasional movement
they cheer out loud
Sometimes a bird might land on his head
hoping for the chance that they might be fed
So inside his pocket – should there be a need
he has a small bag, of bird food or seeds
Little girl passing, trying to be brave
mirror man turns and gives her a wave
and watches others, as he gives them the time
in amusing but wordless performance in mime.
Reflection
Poetry#fowc #reflection
Who’s that looking at you
As the image looks back
The image seems familiar
Except of course when
Ripples move across the way
My My! who is that, I call out
Inspecting the visage needing the
Razors attention in the morning
Ripples occur in the sink as the blades go in and
Out of the warm water
Razor cut hairs floating on the surface
what’s on the wall ?
Art, HomeSalford, 10th July 2017
theres one side of my bedroom that has become my own private gallery.
mickey mouse meets mountainous hills
one wall, contains a print of a local salford artist, joe Coffey…the connection tween the artist and myself ? We went to school together. I went to one of his shows at the community art gallery in Langworthy…a short distance from where I live . We had a brief reunion whilst I saw his works and I picked up a signed print to help an old mate out.
the pic … tranquility…. is of the irwell and one of the green areas (possibly peel park) that it runs alongside
i picked up the next pic as I picked up some bedroom shelves in Warrington. It’s a print of a Walt Disney cartoon…black and white…vanilla washed….mickey mouse and his dog Pluto, it raises a smile when friends come round.
The third pic…isn’t really a pic…it’s a mirror…but it’s embossed with a favourite character of mine…that bouncy friend of Winnie the Pooh…Tigger….I look at him as my reflection comes back….art with a dual purpose.
a picture of a mountain side by the artist c.todd overlooks the place I’m currently writing at. And this is a real painting. I picked it up from a craft fair in one of the local towns, and is of a mountainside, could be the Lake District, could be the peaks…could even be Japan..i like the colours that run through it
