On The Edge exhibition

Glass Art Swansea had a comment from Chinks Grylls I’m hoping I have managed to approve it on that blog so that people get this info, but if not here it is.

On The Edge now at Torre Abbey, Torquay, Devon TQ2 5JE until August 31st. http://www.torre-abbey.org.uk

Fantastic medieval setting totally different to the National Waterfront Museum

If you are in Devon go and look, its the most fabulous glass. See photos here https://denisehayes.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/on-the-edge-exhibition/ and herehttps://denisehayes.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/on-the-edge-exhibition-part-2/ if the links don’t take you to the post they were posted in April and May click on the post to see photos. WordPress is so clunky!

Confused? so am I!

Okay, I know I posted poetry Friday on Thursday but this gave you an extra day to read it.

I have at last managed to get wordpress and my Mac to work together so the images of America have started to go on line. I have started with Frank Lloyd Wright because this was already in its own folder but I’ll post more as the days go by.  Liz took the photo on the right as I’d left my camera at the hotel but I thought it would make you laugh.  The people in Oak Park have a problem with site-seers parking outside their houses.

Tightrope walking – Poetry Friday

Over the last few months I have felt like the ‘Man on the wire’, anyone who has children will know how hard it is when they are adults and we can’t convince them that their actions will cause them unhappiness and pain.  This poem is supposed to be about romantic love (I think ) and was possibly meant to be taken literally but it describes how I feel about my children and my partner so I thought I would share.

Passion by Sue May

What does passion know?

Passion knows nothing

It is red and blind

And plays the congas

With the accuracy of a brain

surgeon.

Passion lives in the heat

It is Irish and confused

It wears a sodden shirt

And plays the double bass

With the fingers of an angel.

Passion speaks in gibberish

It is lost an lonely

It wears broken shoes

And plays the saxophone

With water streaming down its face.

Passion is clever

It is full up and hearty

It wears a leather belt

And sings like a face full of Sun

Passion knows everything.

Taken from ‘Dancing the Tightrope’.

On the other hand it may just describe the menopause.
