A swan and angler
exchanging lazy gazes;
close but not too close.

On the face of it,
plain; but take a closer look…
beautiful patterns.

a wild beast in my kitchen
now released outside.

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.

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

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

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

Do we see something
of ourselves, our ancestry
in fluffy lemurs?
