PURPLE JAPANESE IRIS



poem by bob arnold, art work by Jacqueline Laufman, photo © susan arnold




A sidewalk poem done right on the spot — one of Bob's poems as he read it and the musician and artist Jacqueline Laufman heard it and drew the poem onto the street. Just one of those heralded moments in an October once upon a time, when Dudley & Jacqueline came to town to read poetry and play music on the street with us that day to raise money for Katrina victims. Many years later and many are still waiting for recovery. The poem washed away by the rain. Where are we now?




PURPLE JAPANESE IRIS




Where you stand

They just about

Touch your lips
