Gallery On Monday

'Gallery near me' I typed into Google What's this! 15 minutes away Free Open Monday to Sunday I've been there before What have they got... Pictures of nature :/ Cartoon illustration :/ Half remembered dreams :D The parking was easy As the rain poured down The cartoons were of cats That parodied Picasso I quite liked them! Half remembered dreams Gallery three Door closed Meeting in progress I explored the village Zig zagging to charity shops I didn't buy a beaten up satchel Perhaps I should have It looked like me Essence of something That was once or might be Or maybe something I wish to be Oh to be a satchel with Self belief secured It's a satchel after all Self assuredness by design The fancy tea shop Also an inanimate (is it?) 'Looks like me' scenario Was also snubbed as too busy I may revise my satchel Tea shop vibe Now I've thought it out loud I returned The gallery was open I liked it Plus I was in a 17th century cottage That's rumoured to be haunted The rumours started In the 1600's 8) I'm pleased I'm a person After all

Aww thanks Corey. It's completely influenced by your style (although doesn't match it). Reading yours freed me to broaden what I perceive as a poem. Thanks for your encouragement :)
