Cats... bears... and me. Fascinated and appalled by politics: Pro-EU, anti-Fascist, anti-Trump. 🏳️‍🌈 Music, art, movies, books, and I try and post a poem a day... Matrix and Kate Bush obsessive.

#Poetry #BlueskyPoetry #FrancesEllenWatkinsHarper Songs for the People by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
Let me make the songs for the people,
   Songs for the old and young;
Songs to stir like a battle-cry
   Wherever they are sung.

Not for the clashing of sabres,
   For carnage nor for strife;
But songs to thrill the hearts of men
   With more abundant life.

Let me make the songs for the weary,
   Amid life's fever and fret,
Till hearts shall relax their tension,
   And careworn brows forget.

Let me sing for little children,
   Before their footsteps stray,
Sweet anthems of love and duty,
   To float o'er life's highway.

I would sing for the poor and aged,
   When shadows dim their sight;
Of the bright and restful mansions,
   Where there shall be no night.

Our world, so worn and weary,
   Needs music, pure and strong,
To hush the jangle and discords
   Of sorrow, pain, and wrong.

Music to soothe all its sorrow,
   Till war and crime shall cease; 
And the hearts of men grown tender
   Girdle the world with peace.

Goods Inwards Department. I’ve checked the paperwork. Unfortunately, both parcels appear to be missing the mandatory chicken surcharge. Please allow 3–5 working days for processing… unless there are treatos inside.

An Irish #painting. "Sligo Sunset" came out of a time I was in the northwest feeling alone and happy as I looked across Sligo Bay from Strandhill at Blackrock lighthouse and beyond to the glory of Donegal. The sun was going down but it came up again the next day. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear
Wide panoramic format in acrylics. View across lilac water past a narrow strip of black rocks reaching out from the right.  A white and black lighthouse stands centre-right close to far edge of the water where behind it there is a low strip of land running horizontally across the whole painting, slightly higher on right tapering down to slightly lower at the left edge, made of a patchwork of olive green fields, and topped with a line of dark trees that are silhouetted against in the distance a large long blue shape of a mountain ridge that tapers down at either end. Behind it the sky is pale yellow and above the mountain the sky is in rising bands of orange, pink and lilac. Signed bottom right in dark blue, Liam Daly

Apparently it’s nearly evening meal time Which obviously means it’s time for a pre-dinner snack. Just a little something to keep my strength up until the actual dinner arrives. I’d hate to waste away during the next seven minutes.

#Poetry #BlueskyPoetry #MicereGithaeMugo (From my new poetry book 🎁🎈) I Want You to Know by Micere Githae Mugo
I want you to know
how carefully
I watered the tender shoots
you planted
in my little garden.

Flowers now adorn the ground
the fruits are ripe
Come
bring a strongly woven basket
and bring with you also
the finest palm wine
that your expert tapping
can brew
we must feast and wine
till the small hours
of our short days together

Joy and love
shall be our daily
harvest songs.

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.
Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.

Fumio Fujita (Japan, b. 1933) : Bird in Tree (aka: Bird with Trees), 1963 15 × 10 inches Ink and color on paper this work is significant as it's the year Fujita began creating woodblock prints, making it one of the earliest entries in his printmaking catalog. Further info in the alt text 👇
Style: 
Sōsaku-hanga (創作版画 / "creative prints") and moku-hanga.

The print features an abstract, minimalist depiction of a bird amidst a forest setting. Having graduated from the Musashino College of Fine Arts in 1955 with a focus on oil painting, Fujita pivoted to woodblocks in 1963 using the strict sōsaku-hanga methodology—meaning he hand-carved and self-printed every block himself to maintain total artistic control.

In Bird in Tree, Fujita showcases his early fascination with layering and architectural textures rather than relying solely on flat colors. The piece balances organic wildlife motifs with stylized, line-heavy natural forms, laying the groundwork for the serene, geometric birch forest landscapes that would define his later career.
