I walked past this sculptured gate last night and its all lit up - note to self, always have an iPhone handy. But its such a lovely piece, it just sits outside a little stairwell at the side of the Methodist Church in Fiveways, where I live, here in Brighton. And every so often I will post pictures of objet-d'art I stumble across in this year. At least that is the plan, that and snippets of song lines and the like, that appeal. Today I am working on a song with a verse that starts… Maria said, 'Jesus your cross…' and I quite like the ambiguity of the line. Its a monostich of sorts and its a start. My favourite monostich of my own is one I wrote and sent to Australia and I confess it just rolled onto the page without thought - poetry by osmosis on an Icarian theme… Odysseus, did he see us? And that is where I will leave this post because writing 365 of the blighters isn't going to be easy. This musician and this tune blows me away - east meets west with Jeff Beck and Nadia, oh yay:
