006: The Picture Postcard Man Poem by Colin Johnston
006: The Picture Postcard Man
Up hill, down dale,
by river and by loch
in mountains and in valleys new
have you ever met him,
as you walked
Stopped for a chat, discussed the view
He must be out nigh every day,
he's photographed near all the land
sweeping clouds and sunsets,
hills with lots of colours grand
I find it hard to believe
He's never met another man
But then he may be like a spectre,
a fleeting glimpse of different hues
a flash, a click, the picture taken
Then gone to destinations new
I myself have never seen him
While walking out in hill or glen,
No sight nor sound of Colin Baxter
That famous picture postcard man.
Wow! Such clever thoughts, I wonder where he is also, never seen him myself! ! Great write and most entertaining..... HG: -) xx
Hmmmmmmm....a bit like a leprochan, is he? This is whimsical and delightful. Raynette
A delightful subject for a poem and well said with your pen Can't imagine the number of cards on earth and the first one! regards
Dear Colin, Wonderful! If we could track him down and pair him up with the guy who invented refrigerator magnets - that would be something! Cheers, Mike
Nice colors to fill in this delightful presentation. Has a delightful rhythm suggesting how pleasant it would be walking up the hills and down the dales. I can feel the breezes blowing as I jaunt along wondering about that picture postcard man.
interesting thought... something I've never wondered about to be honest.... strange how some things never occur to you until after someone else has brought it up.... I suppose in my particualr case I may well have seen the postcard man even bumped into him quite literally but I wouldnt know and probably never have a I dont know what he looks like... ah well... lovely oem anyhow: D
Who would not want to catch a glimpse of this mysterious postcard man? You are in fine poetic voice in this one, Colin. Delightful write. Warm regards, Sandra

That make a pair o' us! I think he must be a pretty quick mover. It's a great idea (I can never think of things like this - dull witted it is that I am!) Colin, and you've painted a few lovely scenes along the way! jim
