A cricket sat upon
My golden glasses rim
He looked me in the eye
And I looked back at him

His eyes were big and round
One eyelid blinked a wink
I gazed at him and asked
"What is it that you think?"

#Celticknot #art by Brian Collis.
Verse, yours truly.

He bobbed his head, stroked his legs
Playing a solemn tune
Then he answered wisely
Beneath the silver moon

"My life it may be short
Yet I work day and night
My melodies I play
With great purpose and delight

For those in wood and town
The two-legged creatures great
Reminding them that if I cease
They'll know it is too late."

#ifcricketsspokeenglish

He hopped right off my glasses
And sauntered to the trees
At night now when I hear him
I bow upon my knees

Brian posted his cricket knot art process...
"Sketch - based on a friend's poem, this is where the process starts...."
