CHANGES

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

CHANGES 

 

Stitched in seams to sanguine skies

The rising new build reaches up

As hammers pound the City’s pulse

And modest blush of new red brick

Expunges sins of long lost worlds

Where old men sat

On chairs of sanded cedar.

    Very good write Michael, I read it that the site was one of bad memories.

    Good image, is this a new style of an adaption of one of your other styles.

      Good analogy Andy and the painting is a variation on the methods which I used in the prints based on themes by Modigliani, (that's a bit of mouthful - hope you know what I mean ! ).

      A fine write and pic Michael. Yes, I was involved in some 1066 excavations. Well, a church fairly near us dates from 1084.
      Who is Moggy- wotsit?! Or Moddy.
