#JohnClare and a sea of buttercups.

How sweet when weary dropping on a bank
Turning a look around on things that be
Een feather headed grasses spindling rank
A trembling to the breeze one loves to see
& yellow buttercups where many a bee
Comes buzzing to its head & bows it down
& the great dragon flye wi gauzy wings
In gilded coat of purple green or brown
That on broad leaves of hazel basking clings

#JohnClare in praise of the humble daisy.

While on the sunny bank the daisys seem
With smiling charms to court the clowns esteem
Nor do they spread their smiling charms in vain
His bosom warms enrapturd at the sight
With secret pleasure & unknown delight
His swelling soul to memorys treasure flies
& strives to speak—but Ignorance denies

#JohnClare defining his Eden.

O native endearments I woud not forsake ye
I woud not forsake ye for sweetest of scenes
For sweetest of gardens that nature coud make me
I woud not forsake ye dear vallies & greens
Tho nature neer dropt thee a cloud resting mountain
Nor water falls tumble their music to thee
Had nature denyd thee a bush tree or fountain
Thou still woud bin lovd as an eden by me

The  river Gwash.

#JohnClare finding beauty in old tree roots.

The woods again how sweet,
To find the peace which freedom finds,
And from the world retreat;
To stretch beneath a spreading tree,
That far its shadow shoots,
While by its side the water free
Curls through its twisted roots.

#JohnClare by a brook

Fair grows the tree by the side of the fountain
Green green grows the grass in the falls of the plain
Sweet smells the thyme on the caps of the mountains
& sweet from the woods thrills the Mavis his strains
The fair dripping branches & grasses green blooming
Adorn the cool fountain & carpet the plain
& molehills of thyme the wild mountains perfuming
Still do they bloom but to please me in vain

Spring stream.

#JohnClare still entranced by bluebells.

Bluebells how beautifull & bright they look
Bowed oer green moss & pearled in morning dew
Shedding a shower of pearls as soon as shook
In every wood hedgegap they're shineing through
Smelling of spring & beautifully blue
-Childhood & Spring how beautifully dwells
Their memories in the woods we now walk through
O balmy days of spring in white thorn dells

#JohnClare , Natures Child.

he woud trace the stagnant pond or lake
Where flags sprung up or water lillies smild
& wipe the boughs aside of bush & brake
& creep the woods wi sweetest scenes beguild
Tracking some channel on its journey wild
Where dripping bluebells on the bank did weep
O what a lovley scene to natures child
Through roots & oer dead leaves to see it creep
Watching on some mossd stump in contemplation deep

#JohnClare and Spring.

Welcome gentle breathing spring 

Now the birds begin to sing 

Now the Swelling shade is seen 

Putting forth its tender green 

While the Suns extended way 

Sweetly shows the lengthend day 

O delightful Season hail 

May my footsteps never fail 

When Ive time to trample where 

All thy beauties reappear 


An English field in Spring.

Walking with #JohnClare - the book is £7 by the way (from me).

We feel at once shut out from sun & sky
All the deliciousness of solitude
While sauntering noisless oer the leafy ground
The air we breath seems loosing every trace
Of earth & all its trouble & the mind
Yearns for a dwelling in so sweet a place
From troubles noise such stillness seemeth bye

#JohnClare back in the fens.

With boots of monstrous leg & massy strength
The fowler journeys on his weary way
With furry cap & gun of monstrous length
He hunts the reedy forest for his prey
The timid wild duck vainly hurries by,
& when the wild goose droves their place proclaim
He stands behind his horse & gathers nigh
Who scorn to fear & fly from beast so lame

B&W photo of the fens.

#JohnClare … ‘Trees - In a strange stillness’ … from my book published in 2018.

How sweet to be thus nestling deep in boughs
Upon an ashen stoven pillowing me
Faintly are heard the ploughmen at their ploughs
But near an eye can find its way to see
The sun beams scarce molest me wi a smile
So thick the leafy armies gather round
& where they do the breeze blows cool the while
Their leafy shadows dancing on the ground

Looking up in a wood.

#JohnClare strolling along the stream.

Still shingling on thy silty bed
Wi gurgling windings play
While musing on thy banks I tread
On memory[s] happy day
When mary milkd her brinded cow
While sky larks did sing clear
& for her sake thats absent now
Thou fountain thou art dear

A stream in Spring.

#JohnClare the very first #environmentalist.

Old favourite tree art thou too fled the scene
Could not the ax thy clining age delay
& let thee stretch thy shadows oer the green
& let thee dye in picturesque decay
What hadst thou done to meet a tyrants frown
Be dragd a captive from thy native wood
What was the cause the raige that hewd thee down
Small value was the ground on which thou stood

#JohnClare walking in May

& the breezes feather feet
Crimping oer the waters sweet
Trembling fans the sun tand cheek
& gives the comfort one woud seek
Stretching there in soft repose
Far from peace & freedoms foes
Spots so still so wild so rude
Dear to meet thee solitude

The color of human emotion, batik. Not just an abstract, not just colorful, please explore. If you want to know what I was going for, check out the Alt text.

The Color Of Human Emotion Abstract Batik painting represents the color spectrum of human emotion. The image depicts an abstract human face above which rests a large and active brain, processing and coping with stimuli as it washes over the person. The heart located in the lower fourth of the image represents emotion while the triangle in the upper portion of the canvas represents intellect. Not just abstract, not just color, this painting contains so much more for you to explore.

#JohnClare is courting again. Painting by #CarryAkroyd .

Come softly my darling
My love quickly come
To its hole fly's the starling
The bee tutles home
The moon it shines sweetly
O'er firwood and lea
O come out love and meet me
My sweetheart to be

#JohnClare … remembering.

The wind breath[e]s so sweet & the day is so calm
In the woods & the thicket the flowers look so warm
& the grass is so green so delicious & sweet
O when shall my manhood my youths vallies meet

The scenes where my children are laughing at Play
The scenes where my memory is fading away

#JohnClare and the humble bluebell.

Where dripping bluebells on the bank did weep
O what a lovley scene to natures child
Through roots & oer dead leaves to see it creep
Watching on some mossd stump in contemplation deep
Twas pleasing too when meadows browning swath
Neath sultry sunbeams witherd on the lea
To mark the ploughboys at their sunday bath
When leisure left em at their wading

A bluebell.

#JohnClare and fenland beauty.

Flow on winding river in silence for ever
The sedge & flags rustle about in a bustle
You are dear to my fancy thou smooth flowing river
The bullrush bows calm & theres peace in the hustle
As the boat gently glides
Oer thy soft flowing tides
As the young maidens sail on a sweet summer day

#JohnClare and the crow. Painting by my friend #CarryAkroyd

In blackening droves the rook & crow
Flap the cold air with heavy wings
To seek what home will not bestow
As soon as morn the summons brings
Full many a weary mile they flye
To try what stranger fields will spare
Till eve returns her freezing sky
Then wearied to their homes repair

Crows over a fenland landscape.

#JohnClare footpath walking…

Theres somthing rich & joyful to the mind
To view through close & field those crooked shreds
Of footpaths that most picturesqly wind
From town to town or some tree hidden sheds
Where lonely cottager lifes peace enjoys
Far far from strife & all its troubled noise
The pent up artizan by pleasure led 
Along their winding ways right glad employs

#JohnClare

I love to roam in spring by hedgerow sides
Those old enclosures mossd with many years
That wind by brooks & grassy close divides
Were shelterd primrose earliest appears
To mark the thorn unfold its crimpld green
& ash trees swell their yet black buttond buds
& I love paths that wind thro tangling woods
Were bark ribd maples hazels all are seen
