Yet More Butterflies

A Lazy Post

(Some digital art from moi.)

I Was Once an Omnivore

A devilish wish
I watch as she flies
Through the stormiest
Of skies and something
Deep within me dies
A new-born bird nestles
In my hand. I salivate
As I contemplate
This truly delectable dish

Fade Away and Radiate

If you are a size 12 you are now a heffalump and, according to the fashion industry nothing above a size 2-4 will do (Auschwitz chic is so adorable, dontcha think?) and nothing and no one can ever change that - even feminists. (Sound familiar? I wonder if Emmeline Pankhurst ever heard the words 'women can't vote and nothing and no one can ever change that - even feminists'.) This is my idea of beauty. I'd say she's probably a size 12. Take that, you masochistic Fashionistas!

although I'm not sure I like the implication that the art created by its participants is engendered primarily by their mental health problems. Madness = genius is a tired old Cliché in my oh so very humble opinion. I am also disturbed by the 'psychological ghetto' this mindset almost invariably leads to. No one should be defined solely by their illness and this includes the mentally ill.

By the way PC Copperfield, none of them eat newspapers. Credit where credit is due though in the chapter entitled 'Proper Crackers' he did portray the issue of mental illness in both a compassionate and empathetic way. He wrote the following about a man suffering from a severe mental illness:

'Imagine thinking your family is at terrible risk and no one believing you. Just because they weren't didn't make Bill's agonies and fears any more bearable' (Wasting Police Time, p. 219)

With these words PC Copperfield displays more empathy than many psychiatric nurses manage to conjure up in a lifetime.
