Marske 'Banksey'
In my hometown of Marske-by-sea in northeast England, there is a toilet block on the way out of Marske that usually gets covered in Graffiti, however, the local Council may have paid somebody to do an aesthetically pleasing image, which I have uploaded.
I decided to write some poetry about it that I hope you'll like.
I have posted the text below;-
Is it a plane, balloon or Kite?
Or could it be a girl taking her first flight?
On her, there are no strings
She's free as a bird, without the wings
In windy weather
She's light as a feather
That's young Heather
She's blown away
On a windy day
On a toilet wall, sited on Marske Stray
Is it a Banksy, since he's the Papacito
Or maybe it was painted by a Jovencito
Whoever it was, I'd like to meeto
It's the kind of talent that I'd like to acquire
In works of Art that do inspire
To earn loads of dosh and then retire
So, it's back to the drawing board once more
To find the brush to paint the door
It'll be no Mural, I can assure
The hairs on my brush are getting fewer
So, the next time you go out for a walk
Open your eyes wide just like a hawk
The things you'll see might fill you with wonder
Unless of course, there's rain and thunder
The sights will remain in your memory
as you'll recall, whilst drinking your tea
So, may your world be full of colour
To enrich your life and make it fuller

Ordinary guy just trying to make a living and if I bring joy to people then that's a bonus. Native of the UK, we have a beautiful country with so much diversity in scenery and accents and I have been privileged to see some of it but still many parts to explore. Grown up with an appreciation for music of many genres and as we age so do our tastes change and viewpoints. There are many talented songwriters and singers and whilst most of my music tastes are of years gone by I still appreciate the quality of the modern day music. The same is true of Art, there are so many styles and mediums and I used to enjoy visiting a local Art Gallery and like music it is what appeals to us that we value and it can give us a greater appreciation for the variety that we can all enjoy.
