Requiescat in Pace Adrian Henri
I want to photograph
2000 machine-turned coat hangers lynched on a scaffold of art philanthropy
A red-faced Member of Parliament drinking Andrew's Liver Salts as a penance
An apology from a man who said he had a plan but couldn't even find his own arse
A free spirit level for everyone who thought levelling up meant them
Thoughts that invade at 3 am
Unattended pile-ups on the neural motorway
Regrets that keep on escaping and asking for asylum
The restoration of youthocracy
That will do for this afternoon.
.
Photographed with a Nikon D700 and Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 AI-S lens.

The Limbo Connection club has replied to Old Owl clubOld Owl club has replied to The Limbo Connection clubI went for an interview for teacher training to High Melton College, Doncaster in 1969 where an admissions tutor asked me about my favourite poets. I named Brian Patten and Adrian Henri along with Thom Gunn and (I think) Gregory Corso (or maybe Ginsberg - I was only 18, so sue me). She looked down her nose and said they were not poets, merely “versifiers”. Needless to say I wasn’t accepted for study.
I’ve nothing against Browning or Tennyson or Wordsworth and I will fight anyone who dismisses Larkin or Betjeman or Edward Thomas, but those guys in the 1950s and 60s, particularly Patten and Henri turned so many of us onto a lifelong love affair with poetry.
Thanks once again for provoking my memories, and sorry to hijack your thread.
