Lunch

 

Tinged with a little

sadness that my toastie’s gone;

it was delicious.

Scrumptious

 

Favourite pudding;

chocolate panettone

bread and butter style.

Easy foraging

Squirrel at the door,

squats like a doe-eyed puppy

begging for some nuts.

Nepali life

 

In the cool thin air

apple moons laid out to dry;

Autumn provisions

Caterpillar salad

 

Meal interrupted

by an uninvited guest;

mutual disgust.

Five minute haiku

.

In Wagamamas

waiting for a takeaway;

turning Japanese.

Pannetone pudding

 

Italophilic

pudding, with acknowledgement

to bread and butter.

Frog spawn

 

When I was young we

had tapioca pudding;

we called it frog spawn.

657. M32 roundabout J3 (32)

At a recent gathering of crews at the M32 roundabout, there was this stand out piece. Most of the works (several to follow) were wildstyle writing, but slap bang in the middle of them this Sled One composition breaking up the pattern.

I think that this is an exceptional work. The way the light bursts out of the anthropomorphised fridge is extraordinary. There is also a story going on, as is usually the case for Sled One’s pieces, which I think is that the man is grabbing some hot dogs from the fridge which in turn will consume the man. Or something like that.

It has been a little while since I saw a new piece by Sled One and this has been worth waiting for. I like the nice touch of the fridge wearing a feathered cap. There is a lot to look for in this ‘cartoon’ style piece. It made me happy.

Secondary school

 

No more packed lunches

thank heavens; reclaiming time

lost from our mornings.
