The ArtSpark Theatre Challenge #5

I love these!
Anyway, the challenge this time was to take this picture

and do what you want with it.

Whilst some were overcome with a touch of nausea at the American apple-pie-ness of it, I was actually rather endeared by its suggestion of a lost innocence of primary colours that probably never existed except in The Brady Bunch (speaking of which, where does one procure an Alice?)
This one's for you, Suri Cruise.

Whatever Happened to Childhood?


Delighted to say that the next two artists have no reservations about childhood whatever. They just coloured and wrote and stopped when they got bored.


You can see the other results over at ArtSparker's blog, here:

Poetry Bus! Why Are We Going The Long Way Round?

Because Rachel Fox is driving this week. Boom Boom!

Anyway, this week's challenge was to take a favourite word and then... write. Which was fun, although I am sorry that the watercats used the Islets of Langerhans up a couple of weeks back, as that would have been my first choice. Except it's three words.

Apologies again, but because;
1) it's the school holidays
2) my husband has left me to spend 2 days up a mountain
and
3) work doesn't cease because the children are at home
I might not get round to the other riders until mid-week. But I will come.

Meanwhile, here's my offering. All the other poems can be arrived at via Rachel's blog, here:

Hippocampus hippocampus

I like the Latinate,
conjuring compound words
spanning and scanning
centuries of sense.
Hippocampus,
fragile, flimsy-finned horse
fluttering in the sea grass
snuffling for shrimp;
father’s your mother,
little wonder, confusion reins.
Hippocampus,
mighty, monstrous,
mixed-up steed;
harnessed to Neptune’s chariot,
hauling him from sacred sea
and placing him in the sky
to orbit, cold, unsanctified
until the sun swells with sorrow
at a God’s loss of sacrifice
and journey to myth.
Hippocampus,
the memories of meaning
of things that were, and are,
lie in your sea-horse structure
pulling us this way and that,
making the past the present
ripe for reminiscence,
ready for what will be.
We orientate with the Latinate,
Hippocampus.

Pigeons and Cuckoos

Our small village was cut off from the outside world today. No phone lines, no internet connection. The Post Office closed, Business Micros closed, and at 1pm we gathered like sheep in the tea-room and bleated about the inconvenience. It was, as those of us who had remained on hold whilst in a queue for two hours on our mobiles discovered, an "exchange problem". It may be fixed in 48 hours.

I also noticed that everyone in the tea-room was female.

And then I remembered the freak hail-storm we had the other day.

I am now a little concerned about what may be arriving in 9 months time.

Service still intermittent; I'll keep you pigeon-posted.

ABC Wed. - "J" - Janet

ABC Wed. and the letter "J" for my sister Janet. I believe I took this photo in the late 80s or early 90s. I thought I'd show it because I changed the photo from color to black and white and put a soft edge on it using my new picture program.

Camera Critters - Bunnies

I posted a photo of just one bunny the other day and here's a bunch in a cage waiting to be adopted. I think it's too many in one cage. Has anyone ever had a bunny in the past or raises one now? I never have had a bunny but I think they're so cute and fuzzy.

Something For the Weekend?

I realise this is rather late notice, and a bit far for most of you to travel, but may I draw your attention to an Auld Alliance Coffee Morning in Penpont tomorrow?

Here's one of the cakes available.

It's between 10am and noon and completely free. Plus information about Penpont, Keir, Tynron and Dunscore's twinning with four French villages. We visit them one year, and they come here the next, etc. - you get the picture. I always find my involvement with the Association a little bizarre as I am, technically, the Auld Enemy. But it will be a lovely croissanty morning.

Secondly, the two small boys are running an organised Sainsbury's Mile for Sports Relief on Sunday. For the information of those not in the UK, the money raised doesn't go towards relieving sports, but "to help transform the lives of poor and vulnerable people in the UK and across the world's poorest countries".

Should anyone wish to sponsor them, their Sports Relief giving page is here:

http://www.mysportrelief.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=314033

Have a good weekend. Or an ire-ish one, if you're doing the TFE Monday Challenge.

Skywatch Friday - Windmill

A little bit of sky with this windmill. There isn't any snow on the ground now. The temperature has been getting up into the 50s and 60s now. Right now it's 43 degrees at around 8:30 a.m.

The Personal Isn't Always the Political. Or Is It?

My schedule for the two weeks is frenetic. I don't actually want to think about how I am going to fit everything in.

And it has been a very big news week.

Firstly, the true gentleman up the road who so recently celebrated his 90th Birthday with an all-day party has died, and the world is poorer for no longer having Tom Choate in it. Some of you may recall that his first novel, The Empathy Machine, was published last year.

Secondly, my brother-in-law and his wife, plus her sister and brother-in-law, embarked on one of those "holiday of a lifetime" things in Canada, where they were going to snowboard and ski and tour and generally live the high life. Having arrived on the Saturday, they had their first day on the slopes on Sunday, and my brother-in-law broke his leg rather badly in a collision with a skier, and is now in hospital in Banff awaiting a second operation.

On a far brighter note, however, one of my bestest friends has just had her fourth child (and her eldest is just a couple of months older than the twins). Reiff was a very healthy 9 1/2 lbs and, like all the others, a home-birth (I have to report this as I find that mind-boggling). Mother and baby doing very well, but Dad seems shattered.

In the midst of all this, I have been continuously mulling the stunning documentary I watched on Saturday night, Julian Temple's Requiem for Detroit. It was a voyage through a remarkably short period of history; from the growth of the city (via the motor companies) into one of the America's most prosperous, and its subsequent, catastrophic decline, an entirely man-made disaster. The scenes and stories of inner-city Detroit, right here, right now, were post-apocalyptic. It was terrifying viewing.

And it was followed by a programme examining how Detroit's music was very much a product of the city, and whilst not ignoring Motown it also, to my great delight, covered the band the MC5 extensively. The MC5 are, in my opinion, one of the greatest bands nobody has ever much heard of anymore, and if you do not own this album, go out and buy it now. It is hard, beautiful, aural anger: one of very few debut albums that is live. It remains one of my favourite records, ever.

It's called "Kick Out The Jams" by the way. The cleaned-up version of that track follows those opening lines with "Brothers and Sisters". The original doesn't.

Finally, I get my major news fixes from the World Service, as I am a tad insomniac so listen through the night. This being the case, I have listened for the past three years to the news from Mexico, which is primarily concerned with President Calderon's war against the cartels. From that news, you can actually understand it being called a "war". The scale of slaughter in a developed country (Mexico is the world's 13th biggest economy) is unimaginable: over 18,000 dead since December 2006. The murder rate in Cuidad Juarez is around ten people a day. Last weekend saw 17 people dead in the city by Saturday night. The majority are the foot soldiers of the cartels, the bulk of the rest police and army personnel, but a significant number are "civilians".

However, the American Consulate murders have propelled the situation to the front pages of the British newspapers and onto the UK television news. Which is long overdue, but also, for some reason, made me angry. Just as the documentary on Detroit did. We are so unglobal - I am so unglobal. Very little affects us for long unless it has a direct effect of our personal well-being. Yet sometimes I am so tempted to just get on a plane and go and do something - anything - because of my egotistical belief that I can help. But I don't, because of family ties, and so a simmering anger lies just beneath my surface that things aren't right and I can't fix them. The fact that mankind has discovered so much and yet learnt so little lies deep in the very genes that have made us the dominant species we are, but sometimes there seems scant cause for celebration.

Anger is my default poetry position. I write my best when I am in a boiling fury; that is when I am most able to condense emotion to words. Obviously, one is not boiling angry very often, which probably explains a lot. But my simmering anger about the situation has led, tonight, to this.

May Fly

When is the dead time, mother?
At midnight.
What time is it now, mother?
One micron past midnight.
What must I do, mother?
Fly; fly and find.
Have I family, mother?
You have kind.
Will you come with me?
I left you at midnight.

This is your gauzy day.

Thousand Word Thursday Meme - Captured Bunny

I found a new meme called Thousand Word Thursday as in... A picture is worth a thousand words.

This poor little bunny along with three others are scrunched in one cage with not much room. I feel sad for these animals having to be trapped in a little cage, having to go to the bathroom in a confined area and being scared. I hope they get adopted soon so they will have more room to roam.

Blog Hop Monday-Pets and Mellow Yellow Monday-Trail

Blog Hop all about pets. This is my sister's two horses named Spot and Merlin. They were running in her yard. I used a program that I got not long ago to change it to the beach. We had gone to Myrtle Beach so I put the horses on the beach and added a butterfly. This photo is made by using three different photos. I love this new picture program I got. It's called Play with Pictures and is so much fun. You can add people or pets, delete others out, add text, it's so easy and a great way to do a family portrait if you can't ever get them in one location. I did a photo like that too. I can post it if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Add your link to Mcklinky to play along on the blog hop all about pets.

Riding That Bus: This Time I'm Done For!

Yes, it TFE's Poetry Bus Day once again.

My contribution this week was intended as a homage to the Master, Noel Coward, but has ended up (as usual) mere pastiche. It is also rude, and certainly libellous. Could anyone who wishes to sue please remember that we have seven mouths to feed in our house, and that doesn't include the stick insects.

The prompt this week was the two lines,

She was wearing Stella McCartney
I was drinking Stella Artois

which reminded me of the ground-breaking film, "The Killing of Sister George" (and I know it was a play first...), hence the picture.

Other riders on the Bus, who may or may not be named below, can be found at

A Marvellous Party

She was wearing Stella McCartney,
I was drinking Stella Artois,
NanU’s scientist brain couldn’t take cheap champagne
and her dancing became quite bizarre.
Argent dropped by and held his head high
till an excess of beer turned his smile to a leer
and the Divas, on the floor, had to run for the door,

oh, I couldn’t have liked it more!

You see, I’ve been to a marvellous party,
we played a wonderful game;
Nuala came in, nude, with a grin,
whilst we tried to pronounce her full name.
willow was there, and started to share
her dance that began with an ostrich-tail fan
until all that she wore was the one veil of yore,

and I couldn’t have liked it more!

I’ve been to a marvellous party,
TFE made an entrance of style,
you’d never have guessed that his greying sting vest
was designed to beguile; missed by a mile.
ArtSparker looked vexed but still, on she sketched
whilst the Weaver of Grass fell straight down on her arse,
but her back was less sore than it had been before,

and she couldn’t have liked it more!

I’ve been to a marvellous party
where Uiscebot, PJ and shug
all dropped by but failed to say “Hi”,
heading straight for the malt whisky jug.
Rachel rambled on, and on about that song,
Kat knew the chorus and together they floored us
with singing so raw that our eardrums quite tore,

but I couldn’t have liked it more!

You wouldn’t believe the excitement,
When swiss and colin swanned in,
swiss was obscure, pedantic for sure,
then micturated straight in the bin.
Karen kept mum, sorlil struck dumb,
till the watercats struck up and all that were stuck up
loosened up, hit the floor, then called out “Encore”,

for they couldn’t have liked it more!

I’ve been to a marvellous party
the Cuban arrived in stacked heels,
he danced to a Samba like a snake-hipped Black Mamba
but couldn’t do Scotch Eightsome Reels.
hope wore alligator boots, and had touched up her roots,
Jane sat and quilted - for the Divas, who’d wilted,
their Wellingtons melted, which Jasmine then felted,

revolutionary revels for sure!

She was wearing Stella McCartney
I was drinking Stella Artois,
Kathryn Magendie was feeling quite friendly
till Terry made a graceless faux-pas.
But just who was it robed in the designer clothing?
With each one of my sips I unloosened my lips;
Dominic’s a cross-dresser, though you’d never guess “her”,

for Pure Fiction I couldn't do more!

Happy Mother's Day

To everyone who is, was, has or had a mother.

Share my bouquet with you!

Peebles, Pamphlets, Periodicals, Publications and Periscopes

Ah, Niamh's ultimatum to my computer appeared to have touched its hard drive, as it is behaving itself a bit better today. Bless.

Anyway, to Peebles. Which I had to get to, and then a little beyond, for work this week. Now, the distance, by "A" road, is a skinny 60 miles. But I had failed to add into my journey-time-calculations that the majority of said journey was on the type of "A" road that they specialise in up here. Basically, they're tarmacadamed sheep tracks. Get behind someone doing 20mph (and there were quite a few) and that makes for a long drive.
However, it was a spectacular one and the fleeting glimpse I got of Peebles High Street was enough to make me think I want to go back.

Even better, you pass a most spectacular Scottish tower house, Neidpath Castle, on the way there. It sits on a precarious ravine above what I'm guessing is the River Tweed (possibly the only Borders river I know) and is, well, mighty.

As was lunch, but it made for a very full day.

So, to more literary matters.

I received a pristine copy of Poetry Divas 1 in the post. The Divas are Kate Dempsey, Niamh Bagnell and Triona Walsh, who blog at http://emergingwriter.blogspot.com/ , http://variouscushions.blogspot.com/ and http://domesticoubliette.blogspot.com/ respectively.


I liked the fact that the pamphlet offers three distinct voices; there is an austerity in Kate's writing I admire, Niamh is a wonderful soundsmith and I can't think of anything neat to say about Triona which must surely say something in itself. I do know she's got an allotment.
The pamphlet frequently finds the universal in the domestic, often with a lot of humour. Though there's love and death too. If you like grounded writing that is keenly felt, Poetry Divas 1 has it in spades. What else can I say? Buy it! Now!
Available from Kate's blog for a teeny-tiny 5 Euros.

Next, the second edition of Gutter: The magazine of new Scottish Writing is out now.


I'm in it. Hugh McMillan's in it (twice: show off). And so are Colin Will, Alan Bissett, Ryan Van Winkle, Linda Cracknell, Rodge Glass, Christie Williamson... in fact, it's a mighty 157 pages big.
Available from their website and good bookshops in Scotland. They are also open for submissions for issue 3 right now.

See http://www.guttermag.co.uk/

And so to the publication. I'm a big fan of ArtSparker's blog, http://artsparktheatre.blogspot.com/

Susan has produced a fabulous looking book, Dreaming Alice, which you can preview on blurb, here: http://www.blurb.com/books/1224132
I've ordered and am awaiting delivery; p and p from the States is only £3.99, which I didn't think was bad.

And finally, for those of you who expressed sympathy for my travel-sick son, here is the denouement.

Did it all by myself, Mum!

The sick-spattered plywood

submarine kit

washed without warping:

my boy was as buoyant

as his craft.

For Almond Eyes

I try to write
Inside my head.
I play with words all day.
I paint with them.
I sing to them.
But I cannot make them stay.


I tried to write
Of castles built
With matches, cards and strings.
Of hours spent
In slow regret,
And blowing perfect rings.


I’ve tried to write
Of why I sought
A downward curving smile.
And how we interred
A girl who dared
To love with tasteless guile.

Doing the math

Of collision paths,
And vows that sound sublime.
And motherhood
Tied hand and foot,
Sneering, biding time.

Of all of me,
Together to be
A small domestic army.
Of words that scald
My faulty world,
And blows that merely scar me.


Of Almond Eyes,
And all the lies
I’ve told to get this far.
Falling in love
With a man I thought
I’d been loving from the start.

I’m trying to make
These words behave
The way I’m perambulating.
Words are all
I’ve ever screwed
(But that’s me, deviating)


Almond Eyes
I want to write.
That’s all I’m trying to say.
I want to write
For you, my love,
But you take my words away.

Sky Watch Friday -Tallyrand Park

This is Tallyrand Park in Bellefonte. I took this while stopped at a red light. I normally never get this shot because there isn't anywhere really to stand on the opposite side of the street to take it. So unless your in your car or standing on the road this shot of Tallyrand is hard to get.

The Eric Effect Theme Day

Some people are calling the tilt, slant, laying down the camera on the ground, type photography The Tennin Technique. This is because alot of Eric's photos represent this kind of photography. So in honor of Eric's blog's 5th anniversary I give you the slant. To see more of Eric's photo's in Paris, go to his blog and to congratulate him on his 5th anniversary. Eric Tennin's 5th year blog anniversary.

And, in honor of my blog today I give you the Barb effect. Statue of Joe Pa looking straight up with a slant. Joe Pa is the coach for football at Penn State. How's that Eric?

I Weep For Thee, Lost Eden

Six years ago my back garden was an earthly paradise. Formal in its layout, this was offset by the riotous yet controlled planting, the progression of seasonal colour and the hillside behind that framed it. French friends would visit and declare "C'est magnifique" and wonder why we didn't dine outside every evening.

The first day of Spring, 2010 and the back garden is a Toys 'R' Us plastic wasteland, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought it a likely spot to dump a three piece suite. It's not that the youngest ones are bad - they help with the watering in the summer, they have their own garden patches and try their hardest not to step on the beds. It's just that they are children, and inventors to boot. Thus no bit of broken plastic, discarded wood or holed bucket is beyond recycling into something. Something large. The pleasure is all in the construction - it takes up 90% on the available playtime with only 10% then being spent on scenario planning which leads to the inevitable argument.

So on the first official day of Spring in Scotland, with snow on the ground, a rocket ship was duly built after school and the end to the game only came when it was dark and the see-saw became the escape pod (for one of them), thus destroying the exquisitely balanced engine assembly.

And I look out to where once bulbs would be pushing through and think... it's only for a few more years.

In other child-related news, it was the Classroom 2 school trip yesterday to the Glasgow Science Centre. Children had to parade early for a 9am departure, and whilst other parents were fussing around their offspring, ensuring they had the safest seat on the minibus or the right seat in the car to minimise sickness, I was beautifully blase in waving mine off without a care in the world. Seasoned travellers, having survived bi-annual visits to Essex (11 hours sometimes) and crossed the Channel for a tour of France in the car, I smugly had no worries.

Upon their return, only one child had done the full industrial Exorcist job in the back of the minibus, covering himself, the minibus, the plywood construction model of a submarine purchased at the Science Centre ("We're allowed to take money for the shop") and, quite possibly, other children with sick.

One of mine.

I made him get undressed on the doorstep.

Regressing.

I’m the girl who does not care
If I’m gaining weight or losing hair
If my husband has a damn affair
I simply wimply do not care.

My boss is aloof & my colleagues are mean
Stuff in my fridge are turning green.
Not a single shirt is clean
I’m not bothered. I don’t care.

My boyfriend tells me I’m a mess.
I’m the cause for my parents’ stress.
My friends all like me less & less.
It breaks my heart. But I don’t care.

I know squat about corporate law.
Cigarettes are rubbing my trachea raw.
I cook bad enough to inspire awe.
I know I should, but I STILL don’t care.

So I turned fifty last week
So I’m getting wrinkles on my cheek.
So strangers tell me I’m a freak.
Do I look like I fucking care?

And my writers block is here to stay.
So the one thing I had has gone away.
And my first poem in months reads like juvenile crap.
And it doesn’t rhyme, by the way.

Sky Watch Friday -Temperature

This photo was taken of the temperature in January right after the really cold spell we had. It felt like summer out, so I decided to take this shot in disbelief.

Well, we're suppose to have nice weather again this weekend and it's suppose to be up in the high 30s possibly low 40s. Woo Hoo! Spring maybe around the corner.
