Running

-

Bones creaking

Arms swaying

Legs stepping

Mouth breathing 

Body aching

Pace increasing

Chest heaving

Stride growing 

Steps increasing 

Rhythm smoothing

Breathing settling

Speed enhancing 

Route covering

Pride developing

Toughness improving

Heart beating

Heavy breathing

End nearing

Finish completing

Pride bursting

Great running

Today we have visited The Hepworth in Wakefield. We love going to modern art galleries. However we still look at some of the exhibits with a bemused look. 
Art

Art delivers  A vision,an impression, a fashion or imitation Art emotes Affection, reflection, inspiration, or appreciation  Art evokes  Polarisation, rejection, indignation and condemnation Art is art if it creates a reaction.

The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is one of our favourite places...full stop. The ever changing scenery is complemented by wonderful art exhibitions, which are either displayed in the purpose built galleries or are strategically placed around the park.

This is a poem I wrote some time back. The pictures are from our latest visit this week. 
YSP
There’s something wonderful about YSP For a moment in time you feel ecstatically free Wandering through parkland that’s spectacularly undulating Where nature and human intervention are constantly evolving Holding back the excitement of finding new treasures Of intrigue and wonderment in equal measures  Highlights for me were  pieces by Kaws  Pop art in the extreme deserving applause  Silver pieces  lovingly crafted by Not Vital  Or colourful insights by Paolozzi delightful Then there’s the spectacular tree by Ai WeiWei  A man constantly challenging not a…
