One of my offspring is currently obsessed with midjourney.com, where you type in some words and it comes up with an image. Computer generated art. It’s pretty good. But I have been trying something different this weekend, producing some art and then letting words come into my head to go with it.

The painting is from a photo I took late in the day on a walk in 2015, somewhere in Shropshire. I failed to note the exact location!

The gloom of spoiled hills 
Overgrazed by innocence 
Munching the life out of land for gold 
And a blue-remembered future 

Low beam of light comes sideways 
With distant dreams 
Out there in the benign haze 
Something different gleams
