Lyrebird

 

Antipodean

bird, supreme impressionist;

musical plumage.

Mimic

 

In the shadow of

St Michael’s Mount, small worm casts

mirror their neighbour.

Basking shark

.

A gentle giant,

pelagic plankton feeder;

Never too hasty.

Write

 

Ink traps every thought

in a permanent record;

this is what it was.

 

by Scooj

 

  • scribbled after waking up in the middle of the night…its meaning is partly coherent, and partly a creation of a dream world.

Merci

 

Twenty two great years

a shared love of the Gunners;

go well Arsene (al).

  • on the not entirely unexpected news that Arsene Wenger will be leaving My beloved Arsenal Football Club at the end of the season. As one who remembers some dire football before he arrived, I cannot thank him enough. The pride of North London.

This morning

 

Morning mist lingers

with promise of a fine day

and birdsong enchants.

Looking

 

Young men, gaze upwards

I too turn and look with them;

a mackerel sky.

Spring arrives

.

Small cotton wool clouds

dot a vast expanse of blue;

a welcome return.

This ship

 

Navigating an

unsure course through the Doldrums

landmarks give me hope.
