ADVERTISING "THE BLUE LANTERN"

http://thebluelantern.blogspot.com/

I may be asked to remove this and I wouldn't be surprised

For I haven't asked permission from the Blogger advertised!

The author needs no endorsement; she has 'Followers' by the score

And maybe she'll be embarrassed if she gets too many more!

But I was so delighted when I found her lovely site

That I felt I'd like some others to share in my delight.

I'm ignorant, I admit that, of the glorious world of art,

And blogs like 'The Blue Lantern' help me feel that I'm a part,

A part of that other vibrant world I can visit now and again,

Although I only rise to the heights of drawing matchstick men!

The misty London painting is the 'heading' you will find

And she follows it with examples that will surely blow your mind!

Tomorrow is BLUE MONDAY so I take this opportunity

Of killing two birds with one stone, hopefully with impunity!

COTTAGE BY THE CREEK

I called on Pam last week

In her cottage by the creek,

With the water lapping right up to her door.

Her Victorian bric-a-brac,

(She really has a knack)

Is something I'm admiring more and more.

The roses and the prints,

The quaintness of the chintz,

The candles standing sentinel in white,

All create an air of calm

And nineteenth century charm.

Somehow everything seemed just exactly right.
