I recall the first time I saw Macke’s ‘Lady Green Jacket’ the blank face of loneliness.It caught my mood.It spoke aloud to me,this unique moment in time captured in paint.Verse and art try desparate to pin down such butterfly moments we all experience.The human condition on young frozen faces of sepia images posed pictures asking ‘I am here staring into this camera lens,where are you?Scenes left for imagination to fill in,mirror and join up the dots.

Hello Brian, how are yah? I remembered I was just talking to a friend about a prose. He said a prose is like our everyday talks. I can't quite grasp what you're talking about except the camera because u were taking a picture of something, I don't know. But I invite you to read some of my poems because it's good for your soul. My poems are about Eternal God and u might want to start reading also, comment on some of my poems if u want. Start with the poem "Eternal" to know why I called God Eternal and work your way up in reading my poems okay? ~ Jac ---> short for my real name because my Jackie was a bad girl & so that we have a Jac in girls...
