Today's joy is rereading and editing some poems that have returned to me from trying their luck in the world. It is also the anticipation of setting them out to sail again. (Hare riding out in a viking ship, with sunset picture background on Ludo board maybe sums this up!)
‘A Head Full of Thoughts Before a Smile from a Stranger’ (A discarded elastic band on the ground is head-shaped and has grit inside. A curled leaf and kerbstones add interest.) #ElasticBandPhotos
July on the calendars brings: #LookThere Ronnie posing in a lobster pot in Guernsey. #ElasticBandPhotos ‘On the Diving Board': A discarded elastic band on the ground makes the shape of the head of a diver. The lines of the bricks make the body.
