I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order. View all posts by scooj

Your photograph perfectly reinforces your poem, Stephen. The last word struck me. That’s a word that politicians whisper amongst each other, and then invoke fear to mask greedy, cold hearts.

Rose, I fear we are entering a very tough period ahead, globally. Those with compassion must rise up and show what kindness can do.
