I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

Graffiti Makers

graffiti makers
wear anonymous clothes
jeans and hoodies
hide their faces
sign their names
their pseudonyms

some go for blocks
of heavy black
angular sharp
others are bright
with wild colour
i'm in that mob

  3. Nice write Rosemary. I read your 'about' and nice to see such an interesting life and so diverse and eclectic...if I can use those words. I'm not yet retired but only 5yrs off now. Good to see you at dVerse.

  5. I'm all for the color too and love what you did with the graffiti maker. It can be fun to be a bit wild. Did you wear a hoodie during the making of the poem? Thanks so much for joining us!

  12. Purely observational, this could be a wikipedia entry for its clarity and conciseness. Well done, Rosemary!

  15. I would never expect you to be a shades-of-gray gal, Rosemary. COLOR in capitals is you, without a doubt!
