Then I Bought a Button and Thought About It a Lot

What a wonderful escape The gallery was inspiring With a mixed medium creation Of a street I've stood on And a view and moment in time I experienced Myself Beautiful Within (withon?) the walls Of the off high street gallery Was an original Lowry pencil drawing Paintings with names like Echoes (I like the word) Light and shade Had been played with And the in-between won I'm drawn into paintings Which I need to learn about Where the shadow Holds more Than what's at the forefront Plus one ever so lumpy Of the sea at night Where it's colour matched the moon Also of note Was a charity shop With a button section Beautiful artwork's themselves With a story Of being purchased before And waiting, waiting For their day I've rescued a few And I wonder If they'll sit For my lifetime too To find themselves In 60 years, on a shelf Being admired once again For their beauty I bought of a book of poems A ball of wool A lifetime of buttons A cheese pasty That I put in my pocket for a while A necklace to wear with a vintage dress Then I watched the snow And wondered if I'd place in a Strand

Give that strand to the snow and let it spark energy of happiness in your heart. An artistic mix of color and feelings, your poem, resonating beauty!

I was inspired by this post - no Coors affecting judgment, I swear - and wrote a response! I hope you like it : )

Really incredible. The title itself is just amazing. The images are beautiful, and I love the insight into your thoughts. I particularly liked the interjections with parentheses. Really, really great!

Well it was a brave move on my part posting something like this - so thank you for your comments. With knowledge you started on the Coors already, I'm not sure if it's affected your judgement :D thanks though, I would never have dreamt of posting musings if I hadn't read some of yours with that kind of vibe. I really appreciate your comments - you have a completely different angle :)
