Chapel Porth

 

Salt in my hair and

white salt ringlets on my skin;

Summer sea swimming.

Emerald

 

After so many

years together, it feels good

to honour their day.

Japanese Knotweed

 

Hostile alien

ornamental, unwelcome

in the native lands.

  • Edited because I can’t count. The word ‘hostile’ replaces ‘invasive’. Sorry fellow counters.

Nature boy

 

Exploring Cornish

rock pools all Summer break; those

were such carefree days.

Meniscus

 

With consummate ease,

walking on water is like

a stroll in the park.

Transition

 

Delicate whisper

of Autumn’s steady advance;

time to button up.

 

by Scooj

Brown Trout

 

Distorted shadow

obscured by rippling waters;

unmistakable.

 

by Scooj

Longing

 

I want my childhood

back; to spend carefree Summers

with those who have gone.

 

by Scooj

Common Blue

 

On Cornish heather,

still only for a moment;

captured in rapture.

 

by Scooj

Bond

 

A father and son

spend time together fishing;

lasting forever.
