The Artist
The Artist
An Image in My Mind
We affix images in our minds,
then the mind fine-tunes,
to enhance colours
to make more marked
the boundary lines.
If I look at this artistic depiction
of Gloucestershire in the mind’s eye,
by covering my vision
with a haze or lace cloth,
the colours blur
ever so slightly
and I see more naturally.
Our artists are the architects
and record keepers of our Planet
of every civilization
of the Universe.
A family that spends time
visiting Art Galleries
as well as fairgrounds
and amusement parks
is a family that is send
down into the ground
the deepest roots
strong, life-supporting
ever sustaining.

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
