This one seems appropriate somehow for the Autumnal Equinox. New pens, new season? I know, it's a stretch. A stretch-a-sketch!

Sketchy Sunday, 09-15-2024: Memoirs of a Marooned Duck

My masterpiece. A collage. The first Awed Duck perhaps.

By Bob Loomis 1988/1994

 

An Autobio Entry

As part of the endless sorting of old stuff we are doing, I stumbled across an old 12x18" newsprint sketch pad dating to 1966. It contains some early and often long-winded and pompous-know-it-all poetry and a few sketches. I'll reproduce some of it here. Alongside my more recent poetry it at least proves I've become less know-it-all-ish, if not less long-winded. I'll likely only scan the art with these entries because the tablet's just too big for proper scannig on my equipment. Herewith, the cover (partial) and one shorter poem, writ while Beverly and I were on our first road trip together up the West Coast to Canada and back:

First Impression

WOW! What a change!

Coming through the bridge-border

Oregon into Washington,

Longview

a preview of other 

bypassed 19th century

towns? 

"If this is Washington,

don't think I like it."

We'll find a motel soon.
