Lightning

'Lightning': Coloured pencil drawing by Nicole Moore

Saturn-like parallel stream-rings

Tornado in the distance

turbulence

disturbance

captured

in a moment

textured lightning striking

putting on a pre-formance

awaiting the thunderous response

What Do You Love?

'Woman in Yellow Dress': Coloured pencil drawing by Nicole Moore

T(he)y tell me I can't wear bright colours. Who are those talking heads to tell me what I can and can't wear? Something about the stark contrast against my skin ... 'doesn't work' It works well for me. Oh and, 'Who do you think you are wearing that hat?' I'm at peace. Can you say the same? 

A breeze like the turn of a page keeps me poised on the might of the sea. I love my dress. I love my hat. What do you love?

Forever solid

waiting in vain for the sun

the moon will suffice.
