Finding art in the wild

I found a little picture once
On my way to work
It caught my eye and hooked my lip
and evoked a little smirk

This colourful little doodle
Struck me as profound
Amongst the hustle-bustle crowds,
Dreary sights and sounds

The entire world trudged along
With nothing new to say
But this little bit of colour
Stood out amongst the grey

There’s an artist that I came to know
Who is wonderfully inclined
To leave scraps of magic in the world
Just for us to find

Such a beautiful piece Bianca, really inspiring and impressive with good insight too. Are you new to PS? I've not been on much for a few months so must have missed you, I'm North of the border so great to meet a fellow Brit. Have a great day, Gordon
