Silver Grey

My wine glass is suddenly heavy.

I know, surely,

That I would still die for you.

You are silver grey now,

And my body is wider.

We are older,

But, I fear, not wiser.

You still smell the same, 

And it slays me,

As it always did. 

Stops me in my tracks,

Makes my knees buckle.

And yet, 

I don’t look back when you walk away,

And nor do you.

Sick…

I’ve been drawing break dancers as of late and I haven’t showcased any of my drawn art on our site here. So I present you with Sick. Sick is slang for awesome.

I am a huge fan of Hip Hop (especially old school ’70’s-90’s) I even tried some simple break dancing moves when I was 15 in 1985. The Move depicted below was pretty much akin to what I was able to do back then which was essentially nothing acrobatic. LOL

This series of drawings which I am showcasing on my site also features Graffiti Stylized Slang from the 70’s-90’s.

Matt Snyder can mostly be found creating and showcasing older art on Sundays, 6 Word Stories on Mondays, Food Photography/Recipes on Thursdays, a memoir on Fridays. Every day though, is devoted to both Art of all types & the Written Word at https://aprolificpotpourri.art/
