Each time I look up through the tangle of flamboyant Spring blossoms on our wisteria vine, the lyrics of the song "Purple Haze" run through my mind. The heady, heavy fragrance messes with your brain, enveloping it in a fog of purple, mesmerising and soporific.
Jimi Hendrix has been quoted as saying that the song did not refer to an acid "trip"but was about a girl he met and loved but then in the 'sixties you did not come right out and admit to drug taking did you?
Poor Jimi, he did some good stuff.
The etegami I drew can only hint at this all enveloping experience, just a taste (or a sniff).
(Disclaimer: This etegami was made using no artificial stimulants besides iced tea)!

This may be the prettiest wisteria etegami I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot. oxox
ReplyDeleteWoah!, I'll take that compliment and treasure it.
DeleteSo Pretty! Yes, it would be easy to kiss the sky if it was full or purple wisteria! So that is what Jimi was talking about
