Artwork Description

Riding on a big jet plane
â–¡
A tiramisu to take home
On a bikky a chunk of blue brie
Passing lanyards swish and swoosh
A magic flying carpet under a tree.
â–¡
In Summer everything seemed possible
Now there's a great yearning.
Margaret Susan is too good to be true
Another week of not earning
â–¡
Samurai, ukiyo-e, kabuki
But the jet plane is new
Fly to Japan
Into the blue
â–¡
Hokusai and Onsen
A mystic mountain, tidal wave or pleasure
Both landscape and hot springs in equal measure.
â–¡
Reiki and Saki
Don’t go out in the pouring rain
A yearning for what could have been
Riding on a big jet plane

Artist Bio

Original verse by Edmund West and Liz.
â–¡
A sensuous scratch.
â–¡
Do you have a spirit, a soul, a voice.
Whisper in the wind, a quiet rejoice.
â–¡
Burnt siena, ochres, tonal grays
Olive eucalyptus the afternoon haze.
â–¡
Pee on a tree, a jaggedy dark patch
Blonde summer grass, a sensuous scratch.
â–¡

â–¡
The gate is open just a chink
â–¡
The gate is open just a chink
Should I go through, what do you think?
â–¡
I'm going out the door
In search of a why and wherefore
â–¡
Do you see the land of promise
Or has it been taken from us.
â–¡
Talk in real life
Either way there can be strife.
Talking in real life can be difficult. Lean on a gate,
It will be great.
â–¡
Splash in the sea,
Wait and see.
â–¡
The beach is deserted
Except for some kelp
We walk in the shallows
I give a joyous yelp
â–¡
A ray shoots under my foot
Gone in a blink
A split second shadow
No need to think
â–¡
All is shimmers.
The waves flat and languid
Breakers unfinished
Don't care if I'm stupid
