I was not thinking of anything
I was creating a vision of the sounds of the streets
Skateboarders, discos, the far distant, rhythms of Buskers
And the rhythms of the moving London
Potent smells and acrid tastes
Soft touches and lightning movement
A two line poem I had previously composed
Found rhythm and shape
On these beats of London
John Sheehy

and Heartbeat

I am really impressed!
I would like to ask you if you would be interested in an art4charity group. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Is this an art group, coz if it is l would like to find out on how to join and get my friends in the brighton First Base Day Centre to join also!
THANK YOU.
John! I love your new painting of sounds…….and as you know , I love all that you write. I also love the poem billy wrote “Ghost”….I think all your friends are wonderful, creative and very interesting. It is nice sometimes to shut our eyes and really listen to the sounds around us.
The sounds of trains have always been apart of my life. I was born in a little house very very close to a railroad track …..there was probably a train blowing its horn when I was entering into the world , maybe thats why I like the sound of trains. Ha Take Care and keep up the good work you do with paint and words. Your friend Paulette in the U.S.A
Dear Paulette, thanks for your lovely comments, I would like to get in touch with you after the festival and find out a bit more about what you do if that’s ok… hope you are doing well,
Billy from london
Hi! Billy,
I don’t have a computer at home so when I am emailed it might take awhile to get back with you. In the usa , our Library’s have computers for public use.
What would you like to know about me?
Did John Sheehy, tell you that I painted him a flower pot of a light house? I have never met John , in person . We became email friends off of the internet. I too was homeless at one time in my life . I don’t read music but I like to sing, also I paint and I write poems once in awhile. I will be 58 years old this Christmas. I have 3 grown children and 9 grandchildren. Paulette
John,
I really like your painting heartbeat. Everytime I look at it I see something I did not see before and my quess is everyone might see something differant. Keep up the good work!
Paulette U.S.A.
Hello John,
I believe you are growning as an Artist. What I didn’t have time to say last week about heartbeat is when I look at this painting I see eyes looking back at me causing me to think that the Bible does say the eyes are the windows of our souls, and I see a mouth which makes me think of where the Bible says from out of the heart the mouth speaketh, also I see a few horns that play music and the heart like music from a horn ,beats to it own rhythm. Here is a BIG hug from my heart to you and all your friends at tenfeetaway. Paulette
