ADVERT BREAK - HENRY NORMAL

Ange and Henry in person

I started following Henry on his facebook page not least because I have always admired him and his poetry and collaborative comic TV work but also because of the delightful support of Henry for his son Johnny’s wonderful paintings (Johnny is autistic and indeed artistic and a wonderful creative force in his own right)

Henry’s Facebook page

One of Johnny’s truly lovely paintings - this one a personal favourite

Pale Blue Flower - Henry & Johnny

PALE BLUE FLOWER

Some blooms are seldom seen

The garish can crowd any garden

Sometimes the world overwhelms

And size can easily be mistaken for importance

But there is a subtle beauty

To be sought nearer the soil

The Earth

Is not the largest planet in the solar system

But it is the only one

That supports love

Henry says::
