Recollections of the Venerable Coral
In the heart of the North East, by the banks of the Tyne, lives a woman whose spirit is as vibrant as her purple hair. Known affectionately as "Our Old Girl," Coral is a poet and painter, and the subject of a heartfelt tribute by writer Turlough.
Coral's life is a tapestry of emotions, woven intricately with compassion, charitable trust, and a resilience that shines through even the darkest of times. Her writings, filled with wickedly wise words and cryptic lines, are a reflection of her complex personality - a blend of wit, grief, and kindness.
The poem pays homage to Coral's creativity, her distinctive purple hair, and her unique voice that resonates with readers across the continent. Coral's life is a testament to her strength, as she has endured sorrow, including the loss of a son and the miracle of a daughter.
Coral's writings are not just poetry and prose; they are windows into her soul. She shares her thoughts, including moans, groans, and typos, giving readers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into her life. Her emotions range from anger to grief, and humour often appears mischievously, adding a touch of levity to her profound reflections.
Coral's works are deeply personal, reflecting her experiences with waiting for buses and doctors, her struggles with painful toes and weather that is either too hot or too cold. Yet, she finds peace in the mist back home on the Tyne, a place that holds a special place in her heart.
Coral is also associated with the seaside, often linked to a snack bar, Sam Fender's songs, and thoughts of Brighton. Her life, much like her art, is a beautiful contradiction - she feels both old and young simultaneously, her emotions camouflaged in the same way that creaking doors and creaking bones can be both comforting and unsettling.
In a photograph taken in March 2025, Coral is pictured with a brush in her hand, painting on a canvas, her purple hair a striking contrast against the backdrop. She is a symbol of creativity, resilience, and the power of the human spirit.
To the author, Coral is "my oldest new friend" and "my newest old friend." Her absence is deeply felt, and her words, spilled onto canvas and page, serve as a poignant reminder of the profound impact she had on those who knew her. Coral, our purple-haired punk poet, will be eternally missed.
