carnival

[Catherine Edmunds]

I painted the carnival in venice today
squeezed streamers onto canvas
over a past masterpiece --
a dull scottish landscape in terre verte

ben nevis is no more
upland heather cropped tight by small sheep
replaced by vivaldi gone mad

il preto rosso dances with birds of paradise
masked men befurbilowed beyond recognition
read poetry to paramours
women are men are women are who knows what I don't care
this is carnival

bonny scotland
(where chickens are chickens)
still lurks beneath but

my vast oil slick of a painting pleases me

degenerate venice has the edge
over ben nevis today

Beautiful Delph.
Do you have a picture you could send in to go with this poem?
that would be perfect

[Catherine Edmunds]

Thanks Sergi. Yes, there is a picture to go with this poem. Lugh's working on a webpage to display it (along with some other bits and pieces of mine). I'll let you know when it's up and running.

Cheers.

Delph

Unfortunately, the World Cup has delayed a lot of stuff on here temporarily. Diesel is a massive fan of football and in all fairness the man needs a few weeks off. He has been working very hard on a lot of stuff for us all and did say he felt exploited by me. Christ alone knows why though. I mean, I fed him everyday, water and old biscuits and only made him work 22 hours a day!

Feckin' unions..!

Things will pick up again after the World Cup folks.
