This is my offering for this week - a poem by
Leo Marks - which I've requested be read at my funeral.
It is a gold skeleton leaf mounted onto a piece of painted craft vilene, a butterfly from a magazine - such a short, beautiful life
and the verse. It's computer printed, with gold ink around the torn edges - a little dodgy in places; arthritic hands have trouble staying steady. Just need to add a tie but at present I'm still undecided.
I'm loving all the wonderful entries every week and count myself lucky to be in the company of such talented people.
