Once was an illustrator, sketched portraits of famous peeps
Mailed each 2 copies, one to sign and return, other to keep
Received over a thousand
Friends were totally astounded
John Wayne, Donald Trump(?) and John Glenn just 3 of heaps...

Smoke.
Works every time.
Want a challenge?
Mirrors.
Illustrator of illusions.

Light is the corruption, political parties -
Light is the greed, the wars, the nukes.

How can you not see it?
BLINDNESS....
Too much sun.

Pitch black.
So who is darker than who_?
Feed the beast.
The devil switched jerseys.

Pass you the ball but, break your nose.

A good old duck, a mother hen, 
a friend of Peter Rabbit; chased 
Mr. McGregor out of the garden: 
the Flopsy Bunnies survive again.  

She knew her ewes from her rams, 
meticulous, house-proud in her way. 
A hedgehog, a Mrs. Tiggy Winkle 
every field mouse allowed to stay. 

Cumbria and the Lake District 
will never see her like again: 
North country girl, illustrator, 
storyteller with brush and pen....

Lady In Waiting
David J Walker 


A woman of common hope
Stuttered through stolen and broken
                 Scripture
An illustrator
 of common complaint 
More common in nuance of 
                 Failed restraint 
In the vaguest of hues
                 Of Aqua and blues

Her mother cried over her brother
Her mother lied concerning her father
Her mother died alone in aniline leather
A practiced Lady in Waiting

Crofts of humble
mute to grumble
What prods a heart to seek succor?
Fall to tumble
mind a’jumble
spayed fingers join to clasp in prayer.

Flipped to sober
fearless warrior
What tools to fight off plights of fear?
High to lower
wise the warrior
Gains strength and force in quiet’s calm.

Thank you Karen O'Leary...I'll send you
a picture of 'Flip', when I can get back into
Illustrator.:) You're a gentle and kind lady,
and very inspirational!!...
