3 Colours Brown

The leaves have lost their colour,

That I picked up off the ground.

Their colours numbered three before,

But now they're only brown.

A Girl Like You

I want a girl

with your complexion,

A girl unhindered

by correction,

I want to wallow 

in your words,

I want to drown 

in your affection.

It's a roll over! And Cut Glass and Whine.

I was going to write about the artists from yesterday, but I'm so very very tired and need to sleep!  So, I'll do that tomorrow and here's a poem instead. I had it jotted down in the notes section of my phone and kept coming back to it. The photo was from me playing with my new camera. The face is me and the body is Chiharu - I didn't steal her clothes! The poem's not about me and Chi though, it was just about the word play really but it's also about getting drunk and complaining. It's happened to the best of us!

Cut Glass and Whine


I have been cut.
The glass has been cut.
I am half-cut.


For anyone who doesn't know, 'half-cut' means drunk or a bit drunk. 

A Few Photos From a Few Years Ago in Japan.

I took these 5 years ago, before I had a digital camera even! The first one is one of my first decent photos from Japan. It's from my hotel room on the morning after we arrived. Just happened to have a good view of Mount Fuji. The second one is from up Mount Maya in Kobe  and the last 2 are from our hotel in Hokkaido. 

Things That Look Like Faces

I took these for an exhibition in Kobe at Kobe Art Village Centre in May, which seems like a great place by the way. The JET Program teachers in Kobe have started putting this exhibition on each year (beginning 3 years ago). The theme this year was 'Transitions'. When I came to Japan I noticed that Japanese people like to make characters out of everything they  can and so there are many many objects and animals with faces, from chairs and bears to tofu and poopoo. To illustrate this, I thought I'd take some photos from around the area, of things with faces. There's a lot of them and I'm going to keep taking a few more so here's just 4 of them. Hope they make you laaaarf.

En-Joyed

I am en-joyed
To be in your presence,
Like a lamb
to be in his flock,
Like a snug flake of chocolate
in the crease of a cushion,
Like a fool 
at the helm of a yacht! 




The photo was taken on our way to Disney Land in Tokyo I think.
