A glimpse of spring — The Sketchbook
Posted in Writing on March 18, 2020| Leave a Comment »
I had a little taste of spring last week when I was teaching in South Carolina. Unlike Montreal where it’s still evenly grey outside, there are flowers blooming and green buds popping out on trees. For our lesson in sketching flowers, one of my participants cut some azaleas from her garden. It’s too cold to […]
Elephants

This is one of my favourite poems written to my daughter’s artwork… hope you enjoy it too.

My daughter Jessica McCallum’s 3rd exhibition ‘All the Pretty Ones Are’ (all things Circus) was held in 2011 at the Heath Ledger Theatre foyer in the new and exciting State Theatre Centre.
I feel the poetry I wrote to the artworks of that exhibition, was some of my best; particularly this one written from a childhood memory of the circus coming to our small town in Africa. Although he was an Indian elephant – African elephants can’t be tamed and I love them more, for that.
The Global March for Elephants and Rhinos is a call for a world-wide response to the continued senseless cruelty – the terrible things happening to these beautiful, wise, gentle creatures.
Just weeks ago what’s said to be the largest bull elephant in Africa; Satao of Tsavo in Kenya had his face hacked off for his magnificent tusks!

I’ll Paint for someone Else
I crashed into a heap on sunday…so exhausted I could barely lift each limb. After an hours walk with fur child and one real child, my muscles were aching, my joints sore, my head throbbed. I walk daily. This was not a normal reaction to exercise. Read More.

The White Gate

Yay – found it! I’ve been looking for this photo from Lynne to do a sketch from it… never thought of looking here. Ha-Ha! I really like my poem too, so fancy a reblog?

The White Gate
The path is Agapanthus strewn
freedom for women colours;
green and purple heads bob
in the Freo Doctor, interrupted
by blossoms which match the gate.
Hung upon squat solid upright stone,
it swings inwards, inviting entry
to this secret garden, lusted with
love, Christmas feasts, familial
fecundity, rapturously shared.
Reluctantly closed until next year…
