Designer life

I take in the textual art of one Kayleigh Jackson

I re-tell her tee-shirt slogan

First to my partner and then salaciously - to a crowd


We laugh, it is funny, wicked, lasting

About council estates and girls who might

And boys that say for certain, though not really knowing - right


It's a tough life, an ordeal with little choice or options

Laughter may be the only way of escape

I think at least she has the future of hindsight, go for it - loud


Catherine uses the word myriad; of course she teaches art, and the poetry police have not yet caught up with her. She talks of tentative forays, and a sophisticated understanding; a journey of deep emotion


With a quotation from Pascal her introductory piece is broken in half

But still; all the right words in all the right places

How good to read of such a generous sensitive soul
