Rhymes and Words: A Snowy Scene

Well here we are again. It's already beginning to seem we've been in the year 2018 for quite a time.
Just waiting for the first Snowdrop, to announce Spring is on her way.


THE RHYMER'S LAMENT

I don’t know where this rhyme is going
Because the future is really unknowing 

From my thoughts words slowly dribble 
But is it really art or merely scribble?

Thoughts cascade from my pounding skull
Some quite coherent, but mostly, null.

I need to assemble the best phrases.
To bring a higher quality that raises
This snow storm of  useless verbiage 
Making heart heavy and eyes squirmiest.


Oh to produce a  memorable ode
Upon the minds of readers to bestow,
a word, a phrase or slight refrain
that makes a stay in someone’s brain.

So  I’ll look for pearls in oysters
and plant myself in quiet cloisters.

I wrote the above piece, using the app " Writr. " This allows you to input a word. The app then
instantly gives you words that rhyme  with the word inputed.  It pulls up words which you might not normally think about and also produces near rhymes. Example: Verbiage - Squirmiest. Interesting.

 I have never been a particular lover of the Beatles; but one can never gainsay the lyrical genius of Lennon and McCartney. I was particularly drawn to " Across The Universe, " from the 1970 album  " Let It Be " I was not surprised to learn that Mr. Lennon considered this one of his best lyrics. The images flow and create a most optimistic world view and also belie the happy state of Lennon\s mind at this time. All was good.


"Across The Universe"
("Let It Be" Version)

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Chorus
Nothing's gonna change my world X4


Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world X4

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world x4

Jai guru deva X6
Ja... ( and fade out)

( Jai guru deva om is sanskrit meaning " I give thanks to Guru Deva )


Here is a video I found which shows the Fab Four in India. The rather sketchy sound is more than compensated  by the picture footage.

Our winter scene  this time is once again brought by friend K.




I expect some white flurries  to declare themselves later this week, so as usual stay warm and look for photo opportunities.

WiFi for now

On Tuesday D. and I went from Buckle Street ( Jackdaws Castle )  back along the Gloucestershire Way  to our last finish point in the woods near Condicote. "Jackdaws Castle" is the  horse racing establishment, run by Jonjo O'Neill. Read more at: Jonjo The Way  continues opposite these gates along a metalled bridle path/track leading,  after a  half mile to Ford Hill Farm. The path loops around the farm and soon emerges on a pleasant bridleway. This is a very quiet stretch and I agree with our guide writer Gerry Stewart, who describes it thus: "  This open ridge-top provides a great sense of kinship with the early people who once traversed these tracks." ( p.91) After this bridleway, the path continued  through a field of yellow rape seed, until turning left,  we espied our former end position amongst the woods of Hinchwick. Another link in the  Way  had been made. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ...

Jimmy Uttley: God's Spring Blessing

Image
  Saturday 16th February Hi All, I want to start with a bold statement: we are all selfish. The more we age, the more we want to cling onto life. It's the old survival instinct. That's why it's important to pause at each Valentine Day and realise how important our family and friends are. The love and support they give us and hopefully we return; slows down that selfish gene and makes us glad to be human.  To love and be loved; makes us humble, content and lucky. VvvvvvvvVvvvvv My synapses, as you have probably figured, fire strangely.  Example: lucky made me think of gambling- having a bet - favourite jockeys; which led me  to Jimmy Uttley . Jimmy As  you can tell, if you clicked on the above link, jockey Jimmy Uttley, as far as I know,  only rode over hurdles, rather than fences. He will always be associated with the great Persian War, on whom he won three champion hurdles at the Cheltenham Festival 1968 - 1970  I have tried to l...

In The Smoke with Turner: Lest We Forget: Curlyfit to Drop.

Image
Last Tuesday ( 11/ 11 ) D. and I visited London to see our daughter L. and to view the " Late Turner " art exhibition at Tate Britain. In a jokey fashion, I have always referred to London as " Up The Smoke "  in celebration of its industrial past. It was therefore interesting to note that the artist Joseph Mallord William Turner ( 1775 - 1851) not only lived in  this industrial period, but also used it frequently in his paintings. He was, for example,  the first major artist to use the steam train as a subject and delighted in smoke, fog and mists through which he could express the properties of light so effectively. The exhibition marked the last period of his life from 1835 when he was sixty years of age. He constantly travelled widely in Europe drawing sketches at all points on his journey. He was drawn to water and therefore especially loved Venice, with its natural mists and shadows. He was famous for his sea views and in fact developed the idea...
