Living flotilla
not yet festooned with flowers,
I will return soon

I have signed up to the Wildlife Trusts’ 30 Days Wild campaign, which began on the 1 June, so I have a little catching up to do. The campaign (http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/30DaysWildInfo) encourages a deliberate contact with wildlife everyday for the month of June, and to share your experience with others. I will do mine here.
Men stealing kisses
from passing acquaintances;
boulevard cafés.

An establishment
entitled ‘Dirty Dick’, ain’t
my idea of fun.

Regimented stacks
pay homage to Sacré-Coeur
from Paris roof tops.

Gently subversive,
the coolest road signs are here;
surfing in Cornwall.

I lost an old friend
and I only heard today;
my heart is heavy.

She looked after me
and pointed out the blackbirds
when I was little.

to honour my cousin once removed’s seventieth birthday today.
Slow lowland rivers,
pulling nets for a living,
those halcyon days.

Hey! George Monbiot
it will be forever May
when you rule the world.

Inspired by the inspiring (and controversial) George Monbiot.
Discarded fast-food;
a gull, impatient, gorges.
Speared from the inside.

I saw this unfortunate gull today at the Harbourside in Bristol. It left me feeling conflicted. Gulls are a bit of a nuisance and will raid the bins to satisfy their opportunistic lifestyle, and in doing so often litter the surroundings. However, this is not a nice predicament, and I am left wondering if things will turn out ok.
