Many years ago whilst I was visiting Torcross
I was told about an artist who had been born
In the village just before the First World War
She had been much celebrated in her younger years
This interested me for a while but soon faded from memory
That was until I found a series of her watercolours
In a church in Cornwall painted when she was just eleven
I was amazed by the maturity of her eye
This gifted artist later faded into total obscurity
Which I found very sad as I know obscurity well
