The Other Emily.

Today’s blogpost was inspired by ‘yesterday’s poem’ – a brilliant poem written by Rosemary aka ‘An Englishwoman In Vienna’ —— @shine_reflect on Instagram.

‘Picture In A Gallery’ published on Instagram, 4th May 2020 – and dedicated to All Art Lovers everywhere —— by shine_reflect

It’s about Rosie’s words rather than typing my own today – so I’m keeping it short – especially too as ‘The picture in the gallery’ communicates all by herself. She is a fine looking lady called ‘Emily Chamly’ who leaves me in a whirl every time our eyes meet across our parlour room! I love her bird-like face that peeps out of the blackness at me —— from ‘The Tunnel of Time’ that surrounds her. I don’t know from what period she dates – or anything about her other than her name – ‘Emily Chamly’ – she is Emily’s ‘significant Other’! Considering her size she has a big presence; she’s gotta lotta soul. 

‘Soul Sisters’

‘Picture in a gallery’

‘Peering into a picture’

‘True or virtual’

‘Amazing brushstrokes’

Emily in a whirl too.

‘We connect’

The back of beyond…

And so it’s back to the here and now – and Rosie’s emojified poem as it appeared on Instagram, yesterday! https://www.instagram.com/shine_reflect/

It was high time the Other Emily was given a turn in the spotlight – so thank you Rosie!💜
