Why
not try a rose with your prose?
Say
it with poetry and flowers seems to be the idea behind a
fresh display in a South Kensington shop.
The
whole of August will see an exhibition of poetry by the
writers Daniel Roberts (pen name of Robert Dangoor), Rupert
Brooke and John Clare combined with a floral display at
Flowers Inc II in Gloucester Road.
Store
owner Rosnina Ladak had the idea to link her floral arrangements
with the writing. Poet Robert said: "I told Rosnina
I would give her my book and she could take out of it whatever
works she thought would be right."
The
display has used poetry from his book The Way It Is,
and there is poster work throughout the shop with words
written in calligraphy. The shop has been blending poetry
with flowers since it opened five years ago.
Roberts
added: "The shop promotes poetry in a commercial vein
which enhances community spirit."
