A Poem from C.E. Ayr

Black and White

Mediterranean sunshine

unique beauty

creating

a small separate world

of light 

and shadow

a butterfly

aimlessly waltzing

on a striped awning

a pigeon

nodding through

early morning

curtains

black-headed gull

seen from the bay

gliding

across a cliff face

a boat

in shining silver sea

a lizard

flash of grey

scurrying

under a dark rock

colorless hills

encircle

entrap

sparkling steel water

all shades

of black and white

a world

seen only

in chiaroscuro

A Scot who has discovered paradise in a small town he calls Medville on the Cote d'Azur, C.E. Ayr has spent a large part of his live in the west of Scotland and a large part elsewhere.  His first job was selling programs at his local football club and he has since tried 73 other career paths, the longest being in IT, with varying degrees of success.  He is somewhat nomadic fairly irresponsible and, according to his darling daughter, a bit random.
