Captain of my Soul

I have chosen a poem by W. E. Henley for my
Waddington Weekly

I am the master of my fate


I am the captain of my soul

We must go ...

The poem I have chosen today for my
Waddington Weekly
altered playing card project is by Charlotte Mew.


The world is cold without

And dark and hedged about


With mystery and enmity and doubt

But we must go


Though yet we do not know

... what marks we shall leave upon the snow.

Remembrance

Waddington Weekly this week falls on Remembrance Day.

I have chosen a poem by Dylan Thomas for my altered playing card.


Where blew a flower may a flower no more


Lift its head to the blows of the rain.

The Gale of Life

My altered playing card for my WaddingtonWeekly project this week,
uses a few lines from a poem by A E Housman.


There, like the wind through woods in riot,
Through him the gale of life blew high;


The tree of man was never quiet:



This week I have used an image from my stamp collection,
together with three glitter gems.
