Mobile Photography / Art – Saturday Poetry by Joanne Barker-Marsh with Lorenka Campos
This weeks Saturday Poetry, is a little different from our usual trend. That’s to say that usually I curate an image of mobile photography and/or art and poem. This time I am featuring poetry that has already been created and curated with Lorenka Campos’ image that she made for Abbey… The poet is Joanne Barker-Marsh @small_world_art and she wrote this poem as a tribute to this image and it was featured by @literary_images on Instagram.

“Infinite possibilities were spread before them, as clouds in the sky, no beginning, no end…
Will you come with me the little bird asked…
And their tiny fingers reached high, in excited unison..
Our days remain unwritten
Our mornings cast anew
Be grateful for what is given
Be kind, be always, true…
