This repository has a two fold purpose. One, to keep a record of the watercolor, water soluble oil and colored pencil pieces I paint and their evolution. Secondly, to maintain a record of my past, and possibly future, writings.

Sad Man

A poem from the late sixties or early seventies. Most of my writings are from this period.


I know that all you can give me is your smile and the look in your eyes.

The wise man would take that look, your smile and be happy.

But what of me?

Do I become a wise man and enjoy only what you can give?

Or do I fret over that which I cannot have,

And become a sad man?

Hi James
Thank you for your superb comment on Itchy Feet. I hope people enjoy reading it (and all the others!) and if it reminds you of some good times here - then that's great. A bit like your comment about the poem on your first post here. It's lovely when people do appreciate any type of creative art.

Look forward to seeing some details of the lighthouse work.

Kate
