poetsday: one deep breath
http://helpmewriteapoem.blogspot.com/2006/10/one-deep-breath_31.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Watching them when I'm not there. Faith, trust, hope and love. This week's prompt made me think I'm more of an observational guy and I could appreciate the unseen more. I had a bit of difficulty with 'observing' the unseen without being too literal. Posted by Ian russell at 12:16 AM. Beautiful poem, Ian. Tuesday, 31 October, 2006. I know what you mean. I too have similar problems. Wednesday, 01 November, 2006. Friday, 17 November, 2006. For me, poetry is still a bit of a mystery.

poetsday: two-minute poetry
http://helpmewriteapoem.blogspot.com/2006/11/two-minute-poetry_116481101961298670.html
Wednesday, November 29, 2006. A wise man I knew sat to offer advice. He told me, whenever you attempt anything. Try to be the best, and if you can't. Be the best, then be. There are a lot of people in this old world. You can bet if you've thought of it. Then someone else has too! Think twice about everything you do. But don't just do nothing. That just won't do at all! If you can't be the best - or. Just be yourself, be someone at least. And on that point he rose. And leaving, walked smack into a post.

poetsday: avoidance
http://helpmewriteapoem.blogspot.com/2006/10/avoidance.html
Friday, October 20, 2006. Or fewer than seventeen. Posted by Ian russell at 1:13 AM. For me, poetry is still a bit of a mystery. This began as a serious personal exercise to understand and appreciate poetry, and to endeavour to compose at least one piece of good verse. It still is, although to a lesser extent. moving on, this is now really a place to post my thoughts and observations in verse form. I have developed a greater fondness for the haiku form of expression, more now than merely a syllable puzzle.

poetsday: one deep breath
http://helpmewriteapoem.blogspot.com/2006/10/one-deep-breath.html
Monday, October 23, 2006. When i glance in the mirror. Caught in the passing headlights. As the night claims them. Reading the link on one deep breath for Kristin Boryca. S study on the four aesthetic terms in haiku - sabi, wabi, yugen and aware, I wondered if they could relate to the four elements - fire, air (wind), water, earth. (whatever they might mean! I came up with;. Sabi - solitude - air (or wind). Wabi - stability - earth. Yugen - mystery - fire. Aware - impermanence - water. Kinda creepy, huh?

poetsday: June 2006
http://helpmewriteapoem.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 30, 2006. Palm trees anticipate the arc. Of your body, its return to the earth. Instead of the ocean, the reflection. Of pavement, the mirrors in your apartment. That once focused only on your face. You cannot discard unwanted limbs. On the beach. You are convinced blood. Is the solvent of skin, and your heart. Is continually forcing high tide. The above example was on today's verse daily. I just like the poem. Postscript: I refer to its symbolism. Posted by Ian russell at 1:04 AM. A tom sou...

socks get holes: art class : week 2
http://socksgetholes.blogspot.com/2006/10/art-class-week-2.html
Ian russell's Artwork blog. Monday, October 02, 2006. Art class : week 2. Nothing of interest to show for week 2 as I wagged off homework and in class we just explored different styles of line drawing. Was introduced to Ben Nicholson. 1894 - 1982) which was a surprise as I recognised a little of his style in mine though I can't think I've ever come across him before, being the numpty that I am.

socks get holes: art class: week 1 homework
http://socksgetholes.blogspot.com/2006/10/art-class-week-1-homework.html
Ian russell's Artwork blog. Sunday, October 01, 2006. Art class: week 1 homework. Pen and ink (A4 sketchbook). In the first week at class we explored several mediums used to produce simple line drawings: hard graphite, soft graphite, carbon, charcoal, pen and ink, brush and ink, and stick and ink (the 'stick' being a short piece of bamboo cane). You can see I drew everything with the nib but chickened out when it came to the ellipse of the plate. ha ha. Posted by ian russell. Living with Mr. Fleas. Art c...

socks get holes: art class : half term homework
http://socksgetholes.blogspot.com/2006/10/art-class-half-term-homework.html
Ian russell's Artwork blog. Sunday, October 29, 2006. Art class : half term homework. Still life with pig. Charcoal on paper (550 x 400). During the half-term recess we were asked to consolidate what we'd practiced so far producing another still life arrangement of organic and non-organic objects. After the three apples piece in class, it was suggested I do another charcoal drawing using the mid-tone 'wash' technique and building tone and highlighting with a kneadable eraser.
