“I will not be silent”

 

Greta from Sweden

with unwavering courage

and huge conviction

inspires young and old alike

we’ll not be silent

Greta in Bristol

 

by Scooj

 

On the news that Greta Thunberg will be visiting Bristol this Friday for her school climate strike. I have given both of my children permission to protest if they wish to add their voices to the campaign. I am rather excited and will be taking an extended lunch break to protest myself.

Optimist undone

 

It’s only drizzle

an umbrella not needed…

Miserable. Soaked.

Void

 

In my head, nothing

overpowering dullness

total vacuum

 

by Scooj

 

The only good thing about this dreadful haiku is that I found out that vacuum has three sylables.

 

(Bio)Diversity

 

Dominance softened

when pockets of difference

break monotony

At first glance this picture appears to show only mussels, but take a longer closer look. There are at least six different species in the picture and they break up the regular pattern and dominance of the mussels to create a less threatening and stark ecology. A metaphor perhaps?

An epiphany

.

Realisation

that the people I work with,

my colleagues, are friends.
