Sweet Penny Dreams

Rainbows, roses
And sweet penny dreams
A world full of wonders
Where both of us have been
We danced in the starlight
We played in the soft summer rain
I would give all that I have
To be there with you once again
But all I have left
Are black and white pictures
And memories that are fading away
In my dreams I still see
Old silent movies
Of those happy, long ago days
The rain on the window
Brings back distant memories
And for a moment it seems
That I’m back to the time
When we were still young

Hurting

I have written a poem that I believe all woman and girls who are or were in an abusive relationship should read. As well as any one that knows a woman like this. Please pass this poem along to as many people as you can. Perhaps your local paper will print these poems or your local radio station will read them over the air. All I ask is that my blog is mentioned.

Hurting

There is pain and sadness
There are tears of fear and sorrow
In eyes of wondrous beauty
Dark bruises lie heavy upon her

Welcome Aboard. I only started this site in October 2008 and I am proud to have so many artists join in such a short time. Now semi-retired, I live in Hastings on the South Coast of England, you know, Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror, 1066 and all that.
It occurred to me that some sort of network was needed for artists, photographers, writers and poets to pool ideas, exchange views and promote their work. It is new and we will go along together, tell me what you require and we will see if we can do it. It is free; I know that artists and writers are poor penniless souls working in lonely garrets, living on tins of cold baked beans, so I do not want to add to their worries.
If you wish to change the theme/style of your page, click on change theme on the left hand side of your page. If any of your friends and relations are artists, writers, poets, sculptors, in fact anything artistic, let them know they would be most welcome to join the site. Once again, welcome aboard.

Hi John, To anoswer your questions--Where do you live and work? I live in Santa Clara, CA, USA and my husband and I built a studio room on the back of our home where I work and show my work. Do you have your own website? My website is www.donnaorme.com. What is your artistic style? I do non-objective, abstract works. What is your artistic medium? I am a printmaker and work with oil-based inks for etchings, monotypes and monoprints. I also make acrylic monotypes. I make mixed media works using Asian papers. Thanks for your interest. I like your poetry. They are very sensitive and moving. Donna
