    Like the Ocean,
    A creative tide 
    Washes through my home
    Displacing everything
    That I had so carefully arranged.


    Groups of pendants
    Scattering of books
    Pine needles floating on a sea of carpet
    Beads strewn about like pebbles
    No longer gathered into groups of color.


    Slowly, the tide recedes
    I look at the expanse of objects
    That are left randomly...or purposefully
    And I see again what I might arrange them into.

    I wrote this the other day after watching a video about Andy Goldsworthy (a brilliant artist in my opinion!)

  • Lisa!!!!!

    Thanks so much for your comment on my site. Been ages since ive 'seen' u. Glad that all is well. Missed u lots!

    Yes, things are going well. 2nd year ceramics is finished now. It was hard but great. Sold my second piece of work last month, and just got paid for my "Biggest Cup of Tea in the World" teacup! which is always good.

    Email me and we can swap glaze recipes. So glad u are going to carry on in ceramics. Maybe you could come and finish your degree at Harrow here in England!

    Love Goldsworthy by the way (and your poem!). You'll also like Richard Long, the man who 'took a line for a walk'. Email me!

    Luv,

    Jack

  • There is an element of discovery to art, it's there?  Sometimes, it's a process of discoveries, LOL!   Gonna have to check your artist here...  RYC: I totally forget it's Chase's birthday too!  Happy Birthday & Blessings to one of the greatest lil boys on the planet!

  • May this creative tide continue to inspire you , Lisa , as it was the case with the previous gourds ( I left a comment) .
    The poem itself is nicely inspired  .

    Love    Michel
