Photography that tells a story

The lens directed at the Calypso singer, Aldwin Roberts for a brighter future. It was 1948, and the Empire Windrush docked with many thinking of going back to the armed forces shocked at a reception that brought many to re-focus  in due course, living in different circumstances where skies were gray and the mood sombre yet many still came in large numbers to fill jobs where some were vacant so gradually becoming noticed for being  hardworking and pleasant. 'London is the Place for Me'* a song that resonates still in today's climate. Where we are facing changes so variant. Let us sing and appreciate the talent, we see in all cultures to surpass those whose outlook is less than benevolent. Life changes all the time so there is less room for arrogance, but more for cultural diversity in all its magnificence.

Windrush 2021 The place we came from

The island that I know has memories  on the beach, in the imprint of steps taken one at a time. Finding a voice in poetic stance Trodding over branches that fell onto white, sunkissed sand, warm like the turn of Autumn to Spring.  I walked over these paths many times, reminiscing of days lying there, looking up into clarity. The sky responds with a bright, arched grin. The hues of blue laughing. Mindful that lunchtime approaches, a sip of iced coolsicle, crushed ice water dripping down the glass, onto the sandy beach. Smiling, my skin is scorched red and I forget the sun lotion.   Now stinging, my skin feels sore. I now it is time to go into the sea and feel reassured that summer is always around the corner.

The idea of a book came when I went for a coffee with a childhood friend and an artist friend in 2018.  It has been through a few revisions because I mainly use the recipes in the book! A teabreak is essential for recharging throughout the day! Stay safe and well everyone and enjoy your teabreak!   The Poppodom Cafe family blog  

A Spring Poem in January The crocuses

The crocuses My guess is that the Crocus vernus will arrive late this year As Winter is mild, and the frost isn't here yet. Nor the snow dipped into sludge but snow crocuses bloom amid winter warmth. Ornamental crocuses in Flavus Family in vases make a room sunny which spark the rays Through windows in March making #ActionforHappiness a continuing process from the first month until winter returns cold and dark. Now that flicker of April showers with rainbow flowers from yellow to purple will spread happiness everywhere in open fields to welcome in SPRING a true delight. What say my podcast team, Andy N Amanda? (c) nature thoughts nw Kol-Colleen (I now know from many years of writing poetry and doing an English Degree at university that poetry is truly subjective. Poetry magazines also reflect how subjective a panel of judges can be!)
