Cravings

Caving in to my cravings, considering the consequences, is carelessly coquettish. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, December 2021

Looking again, Boris considers, The fiction that is the Christmas that is different for others; the Christmas that is smaller somehow – smaller and even somewhat less than a day in the land, upon which he plods and ponders. Reconsidering, after taking into consideration his own situation, Boris zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzhhh…… SLEEPS. Copyright owned by Jay Cool,Continue reading “Looking Again at Christmas”

Living With Covid

Dreggy stomach. Confused head. Heavy arms. Covid spread? Back to bed? Changing tack. Stomach fed. No more qualms. And clear head. I stand. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, Friday 17th December, 2021

HUNGER

Optimistic morning opportunities thread themselves through the slim eye of the needle, pulled by possibilities, into the promise of a mid-day feast only to find the darkness of an empty dome, an eyeless socket, emptiness and hunger. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, December 2021

PC Party Pooper Bubbling up, he doubles up, dressed all up in scalp with chicken-yellow, and comb of cop-guy`s blue. Crime stopper or cork popper?

Ageless.”

Nasty Beets

A zillion jumping beetles, with some flair, play dodgems, and they do not care, `bout who did plant such seeds that grew. That grew and grew `til leaves anew tiered up and out as if they could be stands held out – as if they should be hosts to louts that leap about,Continue reading “Nasty Beets”

#LifeDrawingLive

Spent a happy few hours colouring in this drawing, inspired by Sunday evening`s #LifeDrawingLive – the BBC art show presented by Joe Lycett. I never got the attraction of colouring books, in which the consumer takes pleasure out of colouring in drawings and patterns produced by someone else. But adding the colour to my ownContinue reading “#LifeDrawingLive”
