The end of a week
dominated by routine
I want to break free.

The one that got away
Decorations boxed
ready for hibernation
always one evades
by Scooj
- It doesn’t seem to matter how thorough I am with clearing away the Christmas decorations and stuff, one item always seems to evade going into the loft. This year it was the cloth that we put out under the tree (in the washing basket). Does this happen to anyone else?

It’s almost as if
there wasn’t a Christmas break

Homonym 2. Relief
Out-standing wall art
hints at animal rescue
and safety within
by Scooj
- I was out hunting for graffiti/streetart this lunchtime with the dog, and our ears pricked up when we heard dogs barking. The noise was coming from the other side of this wall and the kennels of the Bristol Animal Rescue Centre. Pennies dropped and the wonderful dogs on this wall made complete sense.
Homonym 1. Coaster
Here I lay my cup
and through the window I spy
a small trading ship.
by Scooj
- A memory of many, many hours looking out of the window of my Grandparent’s house which was opposite Falmouth Harbour in Cornwall – there was always something going on in the Carrick Roads (the natural harbour area or ria (flooded river valley)).
Filling in the gaps
Barely an inch long
fragments millions of years old
telling a story
by Scooj
I spent a couple of hours looking for fossils at Bracklesham Bay last weekend and it was really tough going. I was lucky though and found these two sawfish rostral teeth from the eocene period – (quite a long time ago).
